[Rent Payments](https://help.alcoverooms.com/faq-for-tenants?hsLang=en#rent-payments) # Can I pay my rent with a credit or debit card? Yes, rent can be paid with a credit or debit card. However, Stripe charges a 2.9% card fee on top of any invoice if the payment method is a **credit OR debit card.**  In order to avoid the 2.9% card fee, tenants can add their bank account as their default payment method with their routing and account number.  If you have any trouble connecting your bank account as your payment method, please email support@alcoverooms.com for further assistance. -
