Credit Card Payments

The Credit Card Payment feature allows you to make a payment from one of your deposit accounts (i.e., a checking or savings account) to one of your credit card accounts at your financial institution. This feature is optional and may not be offered by your financial institution. If your institution does offer the Credit Card Payment feature, the Credit Card Payments link on the Payments tab accesses the Credit Card Payment page. You may request any of the following credit card payment options on this page:

  • One Time Immediately – One time, immediate credit card payment.

  • One Time in the Future – Set up a credit card payment at a specified future date. Future dated one-time credit card payment.

  • Recurring – Set up a credit card payment beginning on a start date to repeat at a defined interval (or “frequency”) either for a specified period of time or until you delete the payment request.

When you set up a credit card payment, you can view the available balance for each account listed in the From Account field on the initial payment page. If an account has a negative balance, the amount displays in parentheses, for example, (272.64).

Credit card payments for the current day process immediately.  The cutoff time set by your institution determines when an immediate payment will be posted on the next business day following nightly processing.

The following frequencies may be requested for recurring payments:

  • Weekly – Every week. Each recurrence of a payment is scheduled one week after the previous payment.

  • Bi-Weekly – Every two weeks. Each payment is scheduled once every two weeks. For example, if the first payment is set up for 12/15/2020, the next payment occurs two weeks later on 12/29/2020.

  • Twice Per Month – Twice per month. This frequency typically schedules two payments per month, each 15 days apart. However, there are some exceptions to this pattern depending on the number of days in the month and the date of the first payment.
    The following examples illustrate how this frequency works.

    In this first example, the first payment requested using the Twice Per Month frequency is scheduled for the beginning of the month:

    • Occurrence

    Pay Date

    Next Scheduled Pay Date

    1

    1/1/2020

    1/16/2020

    2

    1/16/2020

    2/1/2020

    3

    2/1/2020

    2/16/2020

    4

    2/16/2020

    3/1/2020

    5

    3/1/2020

    3/16/2020

    In this second example, the first payment requested using the Twice Per Month frequency is scheduled for the middle of the month:

    Occurrence

    Pay Date

    Next Scheduled Pay Date

    1

    1/15/2020

    1/30/2020

    2

    1/30/2020

    2/15/2020

    3

    2/15/2020

    3/2/2020

    4

    3/2/2020

    3/15/2020

    5

    3/15/2020

    3/30/2020

  • 4 Weeks – Every four weeks. This frequency can also be described as “every 28 days”. Each payment is scheduled 28 days after the date of the previous payment. For example, if the first payment is set up for 7/22/2020, the next occurs on 8/19/2020, followed by 9/16/2020, etc.

  • Monthly – Every month. Recurring payments are scheduled at one-month intervals. For example, if the first payment is scheduled for 12/15/2020, the next payment occurs one month later on 01/15/2021.

  • Month End – Last day of each month. Each recurring payment is set up for the end of each month (e.g. on 12/31/2020, 01/31/2021, etc.).

  • Bi-Monthly – Every two months. Each payment is scheduled two months after the previous payment. For example, if the first payment is set up for 12/15/2020, the next payment would be two months later on 02/15/2021.

  • Quarterly – Every quarter. A recurring payment is scheduled once every quarter or four times each year. For example, a payment on 12/15/2020 is followed three months later by a payment on 03/15/2021.

  • Semi-Annual – Every six months. A recurring payment is scheduled twice a year with one payment followed six months later by another (e.g., on 12/15/2020 and then on 06/15/2021).

  • Annually – Every year. Each payment is scheduled once a year. That is, a payment on 12/15/2020 is followed by another on 12/15/2021, etc.
