AutoPay

You can schedule your payments to automatically withdraw from a checking/savings account or a credit or debit card.

If for any reason a payment is returned from a checking or savings account, there will be a $25.00 fee charged to your account and auto-pay will be canceled. You will have to call in the payments or send them through MoneyGram.

If you need to make any changes or stop an auto-pay, we will need 3 business days in advance to process any requests or changes. Weekends are not considered banking days, so please allow more time for ACH that is processed over the weekend.
