American Estate & Trust (AET) allows account holders to pay their account fees using a credit card. This guide explains how to link a credit card, make payments, and manage your payment method through the AET online portal. **Please note:** Credit card payments are subject to a processing fee of **2.9% + 30¢ per transaction**. ### **Accepted Credit Cards** AET accepts the following credit cards for account fee payments: - **Visa** - **Mastercard** - **American Express** 💡 **Note:** A credit card can only be used for paying AET account fees and cannot be used for IRA contributions or investments. ### **How to Link a Credit Card** To use a credit card for account fee payments, it must first be linked to your AET account. ### **Steps to Link a Credit Card:** 1. **Log in** to your AET online portal. 2. Navigate to the **Profile** tab. 3. Select **Payment Methods**. 4. Click **Link Credit Card**. 5. Enter your credit card details as prompted. 6. Click **Submit** to complete the process. Your credit card is now linked and can be used to pay fees. ### **How to Pay Your AET Account Fees with a Credit Card** You can make payments using your linked credit card either manually or automatically. ### **Option 1: Automatic Payments** - Account fees are **automatically charged** to your linked credit card on the **3rd of each month**. - If your card is declined, you will receive a notification, and you must manually update your payment method. ### **Option 2: Manual Payments** If you prefer to make payments manually, follow these steps: 1. **Log in** to your AET online portal. 2. Navigate to the **Invoices** section from the dashboard. 3. Locate any open invoices. 4. Click **Make Payment**. 5. Select **Credit Card** as your payment method. 6.
