Keep in mind that if you set up AutoPay within 4 days of your Payment Due Date, you must still make at least your Minimum Payment for that month using a one-time payment. This helps you avoid a late fee.
- If you later decide to stop AutoPay,
- Sign in again and go to “Pay Bill.”
- Click the arrow next to “AutoPay: On” and select “Cancel AutoPay.”
- You will see a confirmation screen once it is canceled.
- Remember that any payments already pending cannot be stopped.
Sending Documents to Credit One Bank
If the bank asks you to send documents, the fastest way is through the “Forms & File Uploads” section on the website. When you submit your form online, your files are sent securely to Customer Service.
After submitting, you will get a confirmation receipt with a case number. It is a good idea to print or save this receipt. You can also check your case status by clicking on the “Case History” tab.
If you prefer not to upload documents online, you can also mail them by post. But sending documents through the website is usually quicker.
Activating your card and managing your account is simple once you follow the steps carefully. Just remember to activate your new card within 14 days so your account stays active and ready to use.
