Bill Payment made easier. Many service providers accept credit cards as a form of payment for many bills — from utilities such as electric companies and cable companies, to home services such as security monitoring and pest control.

Bill Payment helps you:

  • Eliminate check-writing hassles
  • Make last-minute payments
  • Keep track of due dates and avoid late payment fees
  • Earn rewards
  • Save postage costs and time
  • Consolidate your expenses onto your Mastercard® credit card account.

Payment Options:

  • Manual bill pay – This option allows you to choose which bills to pay, when to pay, and how much to pay. After reviewing your bill, you simply call your service provider or visit their Web site to initiate a payment prior to the due date.
  • Automatic bill pay – You arrange this convenient payment option directly with your service providers and your bills are automatically paid monthly, weekly, or quarterly, depending upon your agreement with the service provider. The pre-authorized amount can be a fixed dollar amount, or it can fluctuate like your phone bill, depending on the terms of the agreement. The plan is flexible, too — you can stop automatic payments at any time or use this payment method indefinitely.
