 TITLE: How Does Credit Card Autopay Work? CONTENT: What Is Autopay?\n----------------\nAutopay is a feature that some credit card issuers, lenders and service providers offer that lets you schedule automatic payments from a bank account to pay your bills. If you struggle to keep up with multiple bill due dates, autopay can work its magic by making on-time payments for you.\nCredit card issuers or merchants that offer autopay usually let you set it up in your online account dashboard. The payment may be debited on the bill due date, or you may have the option to choose another payment date. Make sure to mark this date on your calendar and keep enough cash in your account to cover the bill.\nIf there isn't enough money in your bank account when the automatic payment processes, you could get hit with fees from the merchant _and_ your bank. Also, exercise caution when giving your banking details to a company for autopay. Always double-check that a company is credible and trustworthy before authorizing it to debit payments from your account. END
