Change a Payment Method

You cannot delete your current payment method before adding a new one. Once a new method is in place, you can safely delete the old one.
- Provide your new payment information in the appropriate fields. Also, you can save your payment method under a name of your choosing where it says “Save payment method as.” When finished click Continue.

- Click the dropdown box in Select Method. This will list all of your saved payment methods. You can then select which payment method you wish to use for the scheduled payments for your payment plan. Now that the new payment method is selected, click Save.
- Once you select which Payment Method is to be used, you will receive a confirmation as seen below indicating that the scheduled payments have been updated (highlighted in yellow).
