Log into your ADT account to pay your bill
Go to adt.com and click "Sign In" in the top right corner. Enter the email address or account number associated with your ADT account, then your password. If you have not set up an online account yet, you will need to create one first by clicking "Create Account" and following the prompts to link your service address and billing information.
Once you are logged in, look for "Billing" or "Pay My Bill" in the main menu. ADT will show your current balance, due date, and payment history. You can pay a single bill or set up automatic payments from this screen. If you forget your password, click "Forgot Password" on the sign-in page and follow the email instructions to reset it.
If you cannot remember your account number or email, call ADT customer service at 1-800-ADT-ASAP (1-800-238-2727) and they can help you recover your login information or process a payment over the phone instead.

Payment methods ADT accepts online
ADT takes credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), debit cards, and direct bank transfers from a checking or savings account. When you pay by card, the charge usually posts within one business day. Bank transfers may take two to three business days to clear, depending on your bank.
The site will ask for your card number, expiration date, and CVV, or your bank routing and account number for direct transfer. ADT does not charge a fee for online payments, but your bank may charge a fee if you use a credit card as a cash advance rather than a regular purchase.
Setting up automatic payments
Automatic payments remove the need to log in each month. After you sign in, go to "Billing" and look for an option like "Autopay" or "Automatic Payments." Select your payment method (card or bank account) and the day of the month you want the charge to occur. Most people choose a date shortly after they receive their bill or get paid.
ADT will send you a confirmation email with the autopay details. You can change or cancel autopay anytime by logging back in and updating your preferences. If you cancel, make sure you have another way to pay so your service does not get interrupted.
What to do if your payment does not go through
If your payment fails, ADT usually sends an email explaining why — most often because the card was declined, the account number was wrong, or the bank blocked the transaction. Check your email first, then log back in and try the payment again with corrected information.
If the problem persists, call ADT at 1-800-238-2727 and have your account number and payment method ready. They can process the payment over the phone or troubleshoot why the online system is rejecting it. If your service has been disconnected for non-payment, they can also tell you what it will take to restore it.
Viewing your billing history and statements
Your ADT online account shows the last 12 months of payments and charges. Click on any past bill to see a detailed breakdown of services, equipment fees, taxes, and any promotional discounts applied. You can also download or print statements from this section if you need them for records or tax purposes.
If you notice a charge you do not recognize, contact ADT customer service before paying. They can explain what the charge is for or remove it if it was applied by mistake. Keeping your contact information and email address current in your account settings ensures you receive billing notices and payment reminders on time.
Troubleshooting login problems
If you see an error message when you try to sign in, first check that you are using the correct email address or account number. Account numbers appear on your bill and are usually 10 to 12 digits. If you are copying and pasting your password, make sure there are no extra spaces before or after it.
If you still cannot log in after checking these details, try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, then reload adt.com. If the problem continues, use the "Forgot Password" link to reset your password, or call 1-800-238-2727 and ask for account recovery help. ADT's phone team can also verify your identity and process a payment without requiring you to log in online.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay my ADT bill without creating an online account?
Yes. You can call 1-800-238-2727 and pay over the phone with a credit card, debit card, or bank account information. You can also mail a check to the address on your bill, though mailed payments take longer to process and may result in late fees if they arrive after your due date.
Is it safe to pay ADT online?
ADT uses encryption to protect your payment information when you enter it on their website. Do not share your login credentials with anyone, and always make sure you are on adt.com (not a phishing site) before entering your password or payment details. If you see suspicious charges on your account, contact ADT immediately.
What happens if I miss a payment?
ADT typically allows a grace period of a few days after your due date before charging a late fee or suspending service. Check your bill for the exact grace period and late fee amount. If you know you will be late, call ahead to let them know and ask about your options.
Can I change my payment due date?
Yes. Log into your account and look for billing preferences or account settings. You can usually choose any day of the month for your bill to be due. If you do not see this option online, call 1-800-238-2727 and ask customer service to change it for you.
Do I need to pay the full bill amount, or can I make a partial payment?
ADT requires you to pay the full amount due to avoid late fees and service interruption. If you cannot pay the full amount, call 1-800-238-2727 to discuss payment plans or hardship options that may be available in your area.
