CUSTOM PAY PLAN
Enjoy the flexibility to pay your way
From that next vacation to unexpected expenses, split eligible credit card purchases into fixed monthly payments.
Pay over time, on your terms

- No application - Available on all personal Bank of America® credit cards
- No prepayment penalty - When you pay your balance in full
- Rewards - If your card earns rewards, you keep earning them on qualified purchases
How it works
Select a purchase
Pick an eligible credit card purchase to split into fixed monthly payments. Purchases must be $100 or more and posted to your account within the last 90 days.
Tip #1: Most recent purchases are sorted at the top. Change to the highest amount with a quick flip of the toggle button.
Choose a plan
Select the plan from one or more options, that best meets your budget. Your fixed monthly plan payment, including the monthly fee is shown up front - so you'll always know what to expect.
Tip #2: Nickname your plans to easily track their status.
Pay no interest
Pay no interest on the plan balance once it’s created – just a fixed monthly fee. The monthly plan amount is included in the Total Minimum Payment Due, so there’s no need to make separate payments to your plan.
Tip #3: Check your progress anytime in Online Banking or the Mobile Banking app.
Stay in the know by setting up customized alerts1 so you’ll be notified when Custom Pay Plan-qualifying transactions post to your account:
- Choose a minimum purchase threshold of $100 or more
- Look for the Custom Pay Plan purchase option in your credit card activity alerts in Online Banking or the Mobile Banking app2
- You can ask Erica®3 , your virtual financial assistant, available in the mobile app, “How do I set up alerts?”
- Turn alerts on or off as needed
