IMPORTANT YEAR-END INFORMATION FOR 2022

Payments received at your local Compeer Financial office and by our Compeer Financial lockbox location will be applied as you direct on your payment stub (please include all payment stubs with your check for accuracy). Payments are applied on the date and to the year in which they are received.

Payments received at a Compeer Financial office or lockbox location after noon on Friday, December 30, 2022, will be treated as 2023 payments.
