Getting into your Acima account online
To log into your Acima credit card account, go to acima.com and select the login option in the top right corner of the homepage. Enter the email address or username associated with your account, then your password. If you have set up two-factor authentication, you will receive a code on your phone or email and must enter it to complete login.
If you cannot remember your password, select "Forgot Password" on the login page. Acima will send a reset link to the email address on file. Follow that link, create a new password, and return to login with your updated credentials.
Once logged in, you can view your current balance, recent transactions, payment history, and due dates. You can also update your contact information and payment method from your account dashboard.

What to do if you cannot log in
If you are entering the correct password but still cannot access your account, clear your browser's cache and cookies, then try again. Sometimes stored data from an old session blocks a new login. You can also try a different browser or device to rule out a technical issue on your end.
If the problem persists, contact Acima's customer service by phone or through the "Contact Us" page on their website. Have your account number or the email address on file ready when you call. A representative can verify your identity and help you regain access.
Setting up two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication adds a second security step to your login. After you enter your password, Acima sends a code to your phone via text or to your email. You must enter that code before you can access your account.
To turn on two-factor authentication, log into your account, go to account settings or security settings, and look for the two-factor or multi-factor authentication option. Select your preferred method — text message or email — and follow the prompts to confirm. You will be asked to enter a code the first time you log in after enabling it, so have your phone or email open.
Recovering a forgotten username or email
If you do not remember the email address or username you used to create your Acima account, you will need to contact customer service directly. They can look up your account using your name, date of birth, and the phone number or address on file.
Call Acima's customer service line or use the contact form on acima.com to reach them. Explain that you need help recovering your login information. A representative will verify your identity and provide you with the email address or username associated with your account.
Paying your bill after you log in
Once you are logged into your account, you can make a payment directly from your dashboard. Look for a "Make a Payment" or "Pay Now" button, usually displayed prominently on your account home page. Select it and choose your payment method — bank account, debit card, or credit card.
Enter the amount you want to pay and confirm the transaction. Acima will show you a confirmation number and the date the payment will be processed. Payments made before 5 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day typically post the same day or the next business day.
Updating your payment method
To change the card or bank account Acima charges for your monthly payment, log in and navigate to your account settings. Look for "Payment Method," "Billing Information," or "Manage Payment." Select the option to add a new payment method or edit your current one.
Enter the new card or bank account details and confirm. Acima will use the updated method for your next scheduled payment. If you want to change the payment date itself, that option is usually in the same settings area.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I see unauthorized charges on my account?
Log into your account and review the transaction details. If you do not recognize a charge, contact Acima's customer service when ready with the transaction date and amount. They can investigate the charge and help you dispute it if needed.
Can I log in on my phone?
Yes. Visit acima.com on your phone's browser and use the same login process, or read the Acima mobile app if available in your app store. The app may offer additional features like mobile check deposit or push notifications for due dates.
How do I change my password?
Log into your account and go to account settings or security settings. Look for "Change Password" or "Update Password." Enter your current password, then type your new password twice to confirm it. Save the changes.
Is my account information safe when I log in online?
Acima uses encryption to protect your login information and account data. Always log in through acima.com or the official Acima app, never through a link in an email or text message, to avoid phishing scams.
What if I forgot my PIN or security question answer?
Contact Acima's customer service. They can verify your identity using other information on file and help you reset your security question or PIN so you can log in again.
