When you make a payment it is immediately applied at submission.
Payments can be made as early as 7 days prior to the next due date.
- Payments must be made by 11:59 PM on your due date

Payment Methods

Members can have up to five different payment methods in their account at one time. The default payment method is the one used for your payments, whether you make them manually each month or set up autopay.

Visible accepts a plethora of payment methods! Here’s a list of what we support:

All major card brands including credit, debit, and prepaid cards.

If there are any issues processing a payment and you have:

A default payment method and no backup payment – Visible will try a second and a third time to process your default payment. If your default payment fails on the third and final attempt, you will need to make a manual payment.
A default and backup payment method – Visible will try both the default and backup payment method. If both of those fail, we will make a total of three attempts to charge both the default and backup forms of payment. If they both fail on the third and final attempt, you will need to make a manual payment.
