Payment Tips to Avoid Issues

To make sure your payments go through on time and avoid any fees or headaches, keep these tips in mind:

• Pay at least the minimum amount due – Paying the minimum ensures your account stays current. Pay more if you can to lower your balance faster.

• Schedule payments for your due date – If paying online or through your bank, schedule it for the exact due date listed on your statement.

• Allow processing time for mailed payments – It takes 5-7 business days for mailed payments, so plan accordingly.

• Set up autopay – Set up automatic payments each month directly from your bank account to ensure your payment is always on time.

• Update payment info if your card expires – If the card on file expires, update your payment method right away to avoid declined payments.

• Contact support if you need help – If you have any trouble or questions, call 1-800-204-5977 for customer support.

Other Ways to Manage Your Merrick Bank Account

In addition to just making payments, there are a few other ways you can stay on top of your Merrick Bank account:

• Use the Merrick Bank mobile app to check your balance, make payments, set alerts, and more.

• Set up account alerts to get notifications for important account activity via text or email.

• Monitor your credit utilization by checking your balance versus your credit limit. Try to keep it below 30%.

• Review statements carefully each month and report any unauthorized activity ASAP.

• Consider setting up automatic payments if you tend to forget and have a stable income.

• Contact Merrick Bank to discuss hardship options if you’re ever unable to make payments.

The Bottom Line on Paying Your Bill

The key things are making at least the minimum payment by the due date, allowing time for processing, and contacting Merrick Bank support if any issues come up. Setting up autopay can make it even easier.
