Can you pay Fifth Third Mortgage with a credit card?

No. It does not take credit cards.

Based on the payment methods Fifth Third Mortgage publishes; where it lists no card option, we read that as no.

Rewards minus fees, twelve payments a year. A negative number means a card costs you money.

When a card is worth it

The fee usually beats the reward, except when it unlocks a sign-up bonus. Example: someone who already puts $1,000 a month on a card could pay 1 mortgage payment of $2,000 by card for about $61 in fees, reach the Chase Sapphire Preferred bonus, and keep about $594 after fees and the annual fee. Then switch back to the bank account. Run your own numbers.

Watch out for

Phone payments cost up to $15. The FAQ page is of uncertain date, and another 53.com page lists a different phone number.
