Pay Your Bill

Payment Methods

UPS accepts the following forms of payment. Alternate payment methods may also be available but vary per country.

  • Electronic Funds Transfer (Debit EFT): You can arrange to have payment electronically requested and automatically debited from your bank account. This payment method can be used in conjunction with any billing and payment schedule.
  • Electronic Funds Transfer (Credit EFT): You can arrange to have payment electronically requested and automatically withdrawn from your bank account. This payment method can be used in conjunction with any billing and payment schedule.
  • Check: You can send checks through the postal service with the UPS-provided remittance statement. This payment method can be used in conjunction with any billing and payment schedule.
  • Payment Card: You can arrange to have payment automatically debited from a payment card (for example a debit or credit card). Payment cards can only be used to pay for shipping costs and cannot be used to pay duties and taxes.

Note: UPS reserves the right to provide and approve billing and payment schedules and payment methods. The shipper should check with their bank to ensure that there are no fees for electronic transactions.

Prepayment Plans

UPS offers two prepayment plans that provide greater bill paying convenience. Under either plan, you prepay an amount equal to four weeks' average billing. This payment remains on account to cover one month's anticipated UPS charges. The amount needed on account may change, depending on your shipping activity. Late Payment Fees apply.

  • Monthly Prepayment Plan: The shipper makes a prepayment with UPS in an amount equal to four weeks' anticipated charges as estimated by UPS. Upon notice to the shipper, UPS may change the required prepayment amount at any time to reflect a revised estimate of four weeks' charges.
  • Weekly Prepayment Plan: The shipper makes a prepayment with UPS in an amount equal to four weeks' anticipated charges as estimated by UPS. Upon notice to the shipper, UPS may change the required prepayment amount at any time to reflect a revised estimate of four weeks' charges.
