auto pay

Recurring billing arrangement

Auto pay is an arrangement where payments are automatically deducted from a bank account or charged to a credit card on a recurring schedule: I set up auto pay for my utilities so I never miss a bill.

The feature eliminates manual payment but requires monitoring to avoid overdrafts or unwanted charges.

Also written autopay or auto-pay.
