How to make a payment plan

You can set up a payment plan to split up your payments. Learn more about payment plans with CenturyLink.

What is a payment plan?

A payment plan is a schedule of payments that automatically process on the dates you select. We offer two payment plan options:

Split the total balance into two installments, due within 30 days of the day you set up the plan. The two payment amounts can be set however you wish.
Pay the past-due balance before the current bill due date. Pay the remaining current balance by the regular due date.

Not all accounts are eligible

Unfortunately, not all accounts are eligible for payment plans. If your account is not eligible, you will need to pay your full balance before the due date to avoid late fees.

If you have questions about account eligibility, or are a Small Business customer, please contact us about a payment plan.

Will I be charged a fee for making a payment plan?

There is no fee for setting up a payment plan. If your payments are scheduled past your due date, late fees will still be charged to your account.

Bank Account - no fee
You can use a bank account to pay your bill and avoid payment fees. You'll need your routing number and account number.
