Viewing remaining balances
After making partial payments, you can view the remaining balance on a bill by following these steps:
1- Go to the Bills tab and locate the desired bill. In the Amount column, you'll see the balance left to pay.
Alternatively, you can view the scheduled payment in the Payments tab. In the Amount column, you'll see the balance left to pay.
2- Select or hover over the ⓘ icon to check the original total amount of the bill.
Once the balance due on a bill reaches $0, the bill will be automatically removed from the Bills tab. In the Payments tab, partial payments related to the same bill will appear separately, but they share the same invoice number. If you hover over the ⓘ in the amount column, you will see the original bill amount and remaining bill amounts listed. The remaining bill amount will be $0.
With that, you're all set to make partial payments and easily track the remaining balance on your bills.
