Keep in mind the average monthly charge will only show your rent and NOT water. It is recommended to do a max pay more than what you pay on average for rent and water The auto-pay will only draft what is due if your max pay is higher than what is owed
5.) HOW TO KNOW WHAT TO ENTER FOR MAX PAY
Unsure of what to enter for the Max Pay? Select Recent Activity to view your previous payments. If your average payment is $2000 then it is recommend to do the max pay as $2300 for good measure. Please note if the max pay is set up for less than what is owed the auto-pay will not be able to draft from the bank. For example, if your max pay is set at $2000, but you owe $2030 the auto-pay will not draft from the bank.
