Effective January 1, 2026, the clerk's office will no longer accept cash payments.

Debtors may pay online (see public notice re: New Payment Option for Court Fees), money order, or cashier's check. Personal checks are not accepted.

Non-debtors may pay by money order, check, credit/debit card, or online. Please note that the Online Payment Form cannot be used by ECF filers for payments generated in ECF. If you incur a fee through ECF and try to make a payment through the Online Payment Form, your ECF account will be locked and prevent you from filing anything. It is very important that you continue to pay your filing fees through ECF as you have been and only use the Online Payment Form for fees that, until now, have been paid by mail, drop box, or at the intake counter.

Payments can be made at the clerk's office or mailed to: Clerk, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, 120 North Henry Street, Room 340, Madison, WI 53703.

If you have a general question or require assistance with payment, please contact the clerk's office by phone at (833) 758-0380.
