What the Conn's bill pay app does
Conn's bill pay app lets you make payments on your Conn's installment loan from your phone or computer without calling or visiting a store. You can set up one-time payments, schedule recurring payments for future dates, and check your account balance and payment history. The app is free to use and connects to your Conn's account if you already have one.
The app is made for customers who have taken out a personal or installment loan through Conn's, the furniture and appliance retailer. It does not work with credit cards or other types of accounts — only installment loans. Payments you make through the app go directly to your Conn's loan account.

How to set up the app and make your first payment
Download the Conn's bill pay app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Open the app and sign in with the same username and password you use for your Conn's online account. If you do not have an online account yet, you will need to create one on Conn's website first — the app does not let you register from scratch.
Once you are logged in, go to the payment section and enter the amount you want to pay. Select your payment method: you can pay from a checking or savings account (which takes longer to process but has no fee) or use a debit card (which processes faster but may carry a small fee depending on Conn's current policy). Review the payment details and confirm. The app will show you a confirmation number and tell you when the payment will be processed.
Payment timing and how long money takes to reach your account
The time it takes for your payment to post depends on your payment method and when you submit it. Payments made from a bank account typically take one to three business days to clear. Debit card payments usually process the same day or next business day. Payments submitted on weekends or holidays may not begin processing until the next business day.
Conn's considers a payment made on time if it is received by the due date shown on your statement, not if you submit it through the app on that date. If your due date is a weekend or holiday, Conn's typically counts the payment as on time if received by the next business day. Check your statement or the app to see your exact due date, and submit payments several days early if you are cutting it close.
Setting up automatic payments through the app
The app lets you schedule recurring payments so money is sent automatically on a date you choose each month. Go to the autopay or recurring payment section, select the amount and frequency (usually monthly), and choose your payment method. You can set the payment to go out on the same date each month or on a date relative to your due date (for example, three days before).
Automatic payments reduce the risk of missing a due date, but you are still responsible for making sure the amount is correct and that your bank account or debit card has enough funds. If an automatic payment fails because your account is empty or your card is declined, Conn's will treat it as a missed payment and may charge a late fee. You can cancel or change automatic payments anytime through the app.
What happens if a payment fails or bounces
If a payment fails — for example, because your bank account does not have enough funds — the app will show an error message and the payment will not go through. Conn's will not automatically retry the payment. You will need to submit the payment again manually, either through the app or by another method.
A failed payment is not the same as a late payment, but if the failure means your account goes unpaid past the due date, Conn's will report it as late to credit bureaus and may charge a late fee. Check your account in the app regularly to make sure payments have posted. If you see a failed payment notification, resubmit it right away.
Fees and costs associated with app payments
Using the Conn's bill pay app itself is free. However, Conn's may charge a convenience fee if you pay by debit card, though this varies by location and changes over time. Payments from a bank account typically have no fee. Before you submit a payment, the app should tell you whether a fee applies to your chosen payment method.
Late fees apply to payments that arrive after your due date, regardless of whether you pay through the app, by phone, or in person. The amount of the late fee depends on your loan agreement and state law. If you are unsure what your late fee is, check your loan documents or contact Conn's customer service.
Troubleshooting common app problems
If you cannot log in, first check that you are using the correct username and password for your Conn's online account. If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login screen to reset it. Make sure you are using the official Conn's app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, not a third-party app.
If a payment shows as submitted but you do not see it posted to your account after the expected time, wait one more business day and check again. If it still has not appeared, contact Conn's customer service with your confirmation number from the app. Do not assume the payment went through if you do not see it in your account balance — always verify in the app or by calling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the Conn's app to pay someone else's loan?
No. The app only works with the Conn's account you are logged into. If you want to make a payment on someone else's loan, you will need to contact Conn's customer service or visit a store in person. Some locations may allow you to pay over the phone if you have the account number and authorization.
What if I want to make a payment larger than my monthly payment?
You can pay any amount through the app, as long as it does not exceed your total loan balance. Paying more than your minimum due will reduce the principal faster and save you interest over time. The app will let you enter a custom amount at checkout.
Does paying through the app affect my credit differently than paying in person?
No. Conn's reports payment history to credit bureaus the same way regardless of how you pay — through the app, by phone, in person, or by mail. What matters is whether the payment arrives on time and in full. Late or missed payments hurt your credit the same way no matter the payment method.
Can I see my full loan agreement in the app?
The app shows your balance, payment history, and due date, but not usually the full loan agreement. To review your original loan terms, interest rate, and other details, log into your Conn's online account on their website or contact customer service. Keep a copy of your signed loan agreement for your records.
What should I do if I cannot afford my payment?
Contact Conn's customer service before your payment is due. They may be able to discuss options like a payment plan, deferment, or loan modification depending on your situation and loan terms. Do not skip payments hoping the problem will go away — missed payments damage your credit and trigger late fees and collection calls.
