No.  As of April 30, 2026, we no longer accept telephone payments from external accounts for direct principal payments. 

Instead, you can:

  • Log in to your Third Federal Online Banking account and make a principal-only payment, right from your Third Federal deposit account(s). In Online Banking, you can also set up a principal-only payment from an external account at another financial institution. If you are not currently enrolled in Online Banking, sign up at thirdfederalonline.com.
  • Send us a wire for the principal amount. We will waive the incoming wire fee.
  • Mail a check to us via US Mail, or by expedited overnight delivery.  Please indicate that you would like the payment to be “principal only.”
