What is Smart Pay?

Smart Pay is Atlas's automated payment feature designed to:

  • Pay off balances automatically to avoid missed payments.

  • Keep card utilization low, helping to build credit faster and prevent runaway debt.

When does Smart Pay run?

Smart Pay now runs in two daily windows:

  • 8am ET for users on the East Coast

  • 8am PT for users in all other time zones

This timing affects when payments are skipped and when notifications are sent.

How long does Smart Pay take?

  • Payments are initiated 1–2 days after a transaction.

  • It takes 3–5 days for payments to complete.

Can you skip Smart Pay?

Yes, you can defer Smart Pay once a month:

  1. Go to Menu

  2. Select Pay Off Balance

  3. Choose Daily Smart Pay

  4. Click Postpone and set a future date

  • Delay payments as needed

  • Contact support if you'd like help disabling the feature

Smart Pay is a key feature of Atlas—making credit management easier, smarter, and stress-free.
