Late fees are one of the easiest expenses to avoid — you just need to be reminded in time. Here's how to set up payment reminders that protect your wallet and your credit score.
Set a reminder a few days early
The key to payment reminders is timing. Set the alert a few days before the due date, not on it, so you have time to transfer funds and confirm the payment cleared.
Automate recurring payments
Most payments repeat monthly. With Reminder Notifications you can set a payment reminder to repeat monthly, schedule it right after payday, and keep all your bills in one group so upcoming due dates are easy to scan.
Add details you'll need
Store the amount, account number, or payee in the reminder note so everything you need is right there when the alert arrives.
