How to Pay My MasterCard

Having a MasterCard doesn't mean you can pay your bill directly through the MasterCard website. One of the most popular credit cards in America, MasterCard is issued to consumers by hundreds of different sources, including banks like Chase and Internet sites like PayPal. Paying your MasterCard means knowing where the card was issued and what methods of payment it will accept. Have your bank account information ready when it comes time to pay your card.

Instructions

1

Consult your customer agreement to see when your MasterCard payment is due every month. Your customer agreement should indicate the ways you can pay your bill and the accepted methods of payment. A due date should also be on every bill you receive.

2

Write a check or money order made out to your MasterCard provider in the amount you want to pay. Pay at least the amount due every month.

3

Send the payment in the envelope that comes included with the bill. Take it to the post office and get a delivery confirmation to be sure your payment arrived in time for your due date. As a rule, try to send your MasterCard payment at least one week before the due date.

4

Log on to your online account with your MasterCard provider. Either create an account or use the username and password you already have. Pay the bill by entering your bank's routing number and your checking account number or by using your debit card.

5

Call the phone number listed on your bill to pay over the phone. Use your debit card or checking account number to complete a phone payment.
