## Where to Find Your Billing Information

You can view and manage your billing details in the **[Billing](https://home.palmetto.com/finance-accounts)** section of your Palmetto online account or through the mobile app. Here’s what you’ll find:

### Plan Information

This section includes:

- Your Comfort Plan type
- Account number
- Monthly payment amount
- Annual rate escalator
  
The **annual rate escalator** is a pre-determined increase between **0% and 1.99%**. It adjusts your monthly payment by a fixed percentage each calendar year.

---

## Payment Information

Here you’ll see:

- Your current balance
- Scheduled payments
- Payment method on file
  
To help streamline installation and billing, you’ll need to add a payment method before your system is installed. Payments are automatically charged to the payment method on file on the due date listed.

You can update your payment method anytime by clicking the **pencil icon**. Add a bank account, debit card, or credit card directly in the app. If your account has a past-due balance, tap **Pay Now** under Payment Information to make a one-time payment.

## Acceptable Payment Methods

Pay conveniently with:

- **ACH bank transfer** — no processing fee (recommended)
- **Debit card** — no processing fee
- **Credit card** — Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or AMEX. A 3% processing fee applies.

For easier account management, we encourage enrollment in automatic payments. If you are not enrolled in Autopay, your bill will not reflect the additional $15 autopay discount.

All payment methods — including credit and debit cards — can be added and managed directly in the Palmetto app, with one-time payments available through **Pay Now**.

## Transactions, Statements & Documents

- **Transactions**: Displays all payments and credits, including the date, description, status, and amount.
- **Statements**: Contains your monthly invoices. Select **View** to download a copy.
- **Documents**: Stores all signed agreements in one convenient place.

## Statements

Statements are delivered **electronically by default** and will be emailed to you about **20 days before the due date**. If your account is paid up to date, your balance will show **$0 due** until the next statement is generated.

Viewing a copy of your statement is always available on the [billing page](https://home.palmetto.com/finance-accounts) under "Statements". Click the purple link next to the statement date for the invoice you wish to view.

Your statement will include:

- Statement Date
- Account Number
- Amount Due
- Due Date
- Terms & Instructions

If you prefer a paper statement, please let us know.

## Failed Payments

If a payment fails:

- You’ll see a notification prompting you to update your payment method.
- Once updated, we’ll retry the payment right away.
- If no update is made, another automatic attempt will occur after **five days**.

If a payment is more than **10 days past due**, your account will reflect a failed payment status and show the outstanding balance. Once the overdue amount is paid, your payment history will update accordingly.

Please note that you are responsible for any fees charged by your bank or financial institution for rejected or returned payments.

---

## Late Fees

Late fees apply if a payment is not received **20 days after the due date**.

- A **$15 late fee** is assessed beginning on the 20th day past due and continues until the balance is paid in full.
- Payments that are **more than 120 days past due** may be reported to credit bureaus.
