The Online Credit Card Payment Procedure

Step 1: Add an Invoice

Then go to the « ADD an invoice » tab.

Notice in the illustration that my American Express Cobalt^® Card is already registered. Note, when this tutorial was created, HSBC was still active but the principle remains the same. We had added the HSBC World Elite^® Mastercard^®.

Also notice that next to « add », there are options to « MODIFY or DELETE » an invoice. You will use the Delete option for example when you have closed a credit card and no longer need to make payments.

Step 2: Choose the Supplier

Then enter the name of the issuing institution in the « SUPPLIER » box.

In the category drop-down menu choose: « Credit cards and prepaid cards ».

The search will offer two options. In this case, we had chosen HSBC Mastercard, which unfortunately no longer exists.

Step 3: Enter the card number

It’s then time to enter your card number to pay your credit card via AccèsD Desjardins in the reference space so the payment is made in the right place at HSBC.

Then in the description, you can add details (or not). I added that it was the WE card, for World Elite.

Finally, you confirm.

Step 4: Pay the Credit Card Through Accèsd Desjardins

Your new credit card is now among your other bills on AccèsD Desjardins.

You can now make your credit card payments through AccèsD Desjardins, and therefore from your Desjardins bank account:

I told you its was easy. Child’s play! You can now take advantage of the best credit card offers in Canada, while remaining a Desjardins banking client!
