How to Pay Bank of America Credit Card Balance?
How To: Set up Bank of America credit card auto pay
How does Bank of America Bill Pay Work?
Hi, I’m trying to send a paper check through Bank of America’s Bill Pay. I’m very confused when adding the recipient, what to put in “Account number or Identifying info”. So is it supposed to be the recipients account number or mine? And if I don’t have the account number, then what counts as identifying info? Thank you!
When I click PAY under my credit card balance, I see the following:
“You don't have an account that can be used with Bill Pay. You'll need to open a Bank of America checking or Money Market savings account to get started.”
I can’t find any way to add my (non-BofA) checking account and simply pay the balance.
I just got the card a few weeks ago, and I do not yet have a payment. Will I possibly receive an option to add my checking account when my payment is due? Or do I have to open a BofA checking account to pay my credit card?
This seems like a completely impossible task in the Bank of America App/UI, to setup autopay for a bank of america credit card (specially if you want the autopay to be from an external checking account).
You can see so many other older reddit threads asking about it: https://www.google.com/search?q=setup+bank+of+america+autopay+reddit
So here I'm giving a how-to to help others, this process finally worked for me:
-
Add your credit card to your bank of america login
-
Have an external (or bank of america) checking account linked to the same login
-
Wait for at least one credit card statement to post (you cannot setup autopay before that).
-
Under your main account page, "Pay and Transfer" -> "Bill Pay / Make a Payment" option (it will open up a "Payment Center" UI page.
-
Search for your credit card on that page, and click "Request E-Bill". A popup will open up, asking for the last four of your social, enter that, click 'add', then select checkbox agreeing to terms and click 'submit'. The popup will say "you have setup ebills now you can setup autopay".
-
Now refresh the page (or re-open the "Payment Center" page agin). You must refresh. I was getting stuck at this step earlier.
-
After refreshing, you'll see "Autopay" link under your credit card. Now you can setup autopay
