Yes. You can pay off your Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) plans early within your Citadel Online Banking account or at any branch.
If you do not see any BNPL offers in your Online Banking account, this may be because your current account status is not eligible for BNPL at this time. If you already have active BNPL plans, you may not be eligible for additional offers until the active plans are paid back.

A purchase eligible for Split Your Purchase is a debit card purchase made in the past 30 days that is at least $250 and was not a cash equivalent purchase (e.g., ATM withdrawal, money order, cash advance, etc.). Other restrictions surrounding the merchant type and transaction limits may also affect Buy Now, Pay Later eligibility.
