If a monthly payment doesn't go through — due to an expired card, insufficient funds, a bank-side restriction, or an unsupported card type — act quickly. Here's exactly what happens and how to fix it.
What happens after a failed payment
1. You receive an email notification
As soon as a payment fails, APOLLO sends you an email with a direct link to your Customer Portal to update your payment details or settle the balance.
2. Automatic retries begin
Payments are retried automatically every three days. Your policy stays active during this window.
3. A $15 missed payment fee is applied
After the second failed attempt, a $15 missed payment fee is charged. This fee is applied once per invoice, not per retry.
4. A 15-day notice is issued
If all automatic retries fail, a formal notice is sent giving you 15 days to clear the outstanding balance before your policy is cancelled.
5. Policy cancelled for non-payment
If the balance isn't resolved within the 15-day window, your policy is cancelled. Once cancelled due to non-payment it cannot be reinstated — you would need to start a new application, and a lapse in coverage can affect your future premiums.
Fees and charges on an outstanding balance
Missed payment fee: $15, charged once after the second failed attempt
Time on risk fees: charges for the period your policy was active without payment
Non-refundable fees: if cancelled for non-payment, certain fees and a portion of the premium are non-refundable
How to resolve a failed payment
Option 1 — Update your card in the Customer Portal
Log in at policy-portal.apollocover.com, go to your payment details, update your card, and resubmit. This is the fastest way to restore coverage.
Option 2 — Pay via the invoice link
Click the link in your most recent failed-payment email and pay the outstanding balance directly. Use the most recent link — earlier links may no longer be active.
Option 3 — Contact your bank
If your card is being declined, call your bank to check for blocks or restrictions and ask them to approve the transaction.
Option 4 — Contact SinglePoint Collections
If your account has been passed to collections, contact SinglePoint directly:
Website: singlepointgi.com
Toll-free: 1-866-751-2167 (press 7 for automated payment, or hold to speak to an agent)
Option 5 — Contact APOLLO support
Reach us through the Contact Us page if you need help resolving the balance directly.
How to avoid payment failures
Add a backup card — if your primary card fails, APOLLO automatically tries the backup before your policy is at risk. See Why Your Payment Plan Needs a Backup Card.
Keep card details current — update your payment method in the Customer Portal whenever you get a new or replacement card.
Check your billing date — your payment runs on the same date each month from the day you signed up. You can see your next billing date in the Customer Portal under payment details.
