With Chase Pay Over Time, you can break up eligible larger purchases into more manageable payments split evenly across a set number of months. Read on to learn how to use Pay Over Time with your Chase business card, and how it can be useful for your business.
What is Chase Pay Over Time?
Chase Pay Over Time is a feature available on select Chase credit cards and allows cardmembers to pay off eligible purchases over $100 in equal monthly installments.
Cardmembers will pay a set monthly fee. No credit check is needed and cardmembers will still earn their typical credit card rewards on the original purchase amount. Plans range from 3-24 months.
Benefits of using Chase Pay Over Time for business purchases
Businesses have ever-changing needs and it's not always feasible to pay off larger purchases right away. One main benefit of using Chase Pay Over Time for business purchases is the ability to pay off larger purchases over a period of time.

- Fixed, equal monthly payments.
- No penalty if you pay off your plan early.
- You'll still earn your usual credit card rewards on the original purchase amount.
- You can have up to 10 active plans on a single credit card account.

How to activate Chase Pay Over Time
Business owners can use the Pay Over Time after purchase feature to start a plan. After making an eligible purchase:
- Sign into your account on Chase.com or on the Chase Mobile® app.
- Choose "Pay Over Time" next to eligible purchases of $100 or more.
- Select a plan duration (the length of the plan will affect how much your monthly payments are).
- Pay for your purchase over time with just a fixed monthly fee.
There's no need to make separate payments after you create your plan; the monthly plan payment will be added to your minimum payment due each billing cycle. If you pay at least the minimum payment each billing cycle, you'll pay off the balance on time.
