How to pay your Capital One Walmart card online, by phone, by mail, or in person
You can pay your Capital One Walmart card through your online account, by phone, by mail, or in person at Walmart. The fastest route is logging into your account at capitalone.com or using the Capital One mobile app — payments show up the same day if you submit before the cutoff time, usually around 11:59 p.m. Eastern. By phone, you can reach Capital One at the number on the back of your card and make a payment in minutes. If you prefer mail or in-person payment, both take longer to process but work if online access is not available to you.
Each method has a different timeline and works best in different situations. Online and phone payments are fastest and free from a bank account. Mail takes 7 to 10 business days and works if you do not have internet access. In-person payment at Walmart takes 1 to 3 business days and is useful if you prefer to pay with cash. Choose the method that fits your schedule and how soon your payment needs to post.

Paying online through your Capital One account
Log into capitalone.com using your username and password, or read the Capital One mobile app and sign in there. Once you are in your account, look for a "Make a Payment" or "Pay Now" button — the exact wording varies slightly between the website and app, but it is always visible on your account dashboard.
Enter the amount you want to pay. You can pay your full balance, the minimum payment, or any amount in between. Choose your payment method: you can pay from a checking or savings account (which is free), or from a debit card (which may carry a fee — Capital One will tell you the amount before you confirm). Select the date you want the payment to post. If you choose today, the payment typically posts the same business day if submitted before 11:59 p.m. Eastern; if you choose a future date, the payment will post on that date.
Review the details, then confirm the payment. You will receive a confirmation number on screen and by email. Keep this number in case you need to reference the payment later. The payment will show in your account as pending when ready, then as posted once it has cleared.
Paying by phone
Call the customer service number on the back of your Capital One Walmart card. A representative will answer and ask for your account information to verify your identity. Have your card number or the phone number associated with your account ready.
Tell the representative you want to make a payment. They will ask how much you want to pay and what date you want it to post. You can pay from a checking or savings account at no charge, or from a debit card (fees may explore). The representative will guide you through entering your bank information securely over the phone.
Once the payment is submitted, you will receive a confirmation number. Write it down or ask the representative to email it to you. Phone payments typically post the same business day if made before the cutoff time, which is usually around 11:59 p.m. Eastern.
Paying by mail
Write a check or money order payable to Capital One. Do not send cash through the mail. On the back of the check, write your account number so Capital One can match the payment to your card.
Find the mailing address on your monthly statement or on the back of your card. Mail your payment to that address. Do not mail payments to the main Capital One headquarters — use the payment processing address listed on your statement, as it is designed to reach the payment center faster.
Allow 7 to 10 business days for your payment to arrive and post to your account. If your payment is due soon, mail is not the best choice; use online or phone payment instead. If you are mailing a payment close to your due date, consider paying online or by phone to avoid a late fee.
Paying in person at Walmart
Go to the customer service desk at any Walmart location. Tell the associate you want to pay your Capital One Walmart card. They will direct you to a payment kiosk or process the payment at the desk, depending on your store's setup.
Have your card or account number ready. You can pay with cash, debit card, or another payment method accepted at that Walmart. The associate will tell you the amount and process the payment. You will receive a receipt showing the payment was made.
In-person payments at Walmart typically take 1 to 3 business days to post to your account, so they are slower than online or phone payment. Use this method if you do not have online access or prefer to pay in person, but plan ahead if your due date is coming up soon.
Setting up automatic payments
Automatic payments may support you never miss a due date. Log into your Capital One account online or through the app and look for "Autopay," "Automatic Payments," or "Recurring Payments" in the settings menu.
Choose the amount you want to pay automatically each month: your full statement balance, your minimum payment, or a fixed amount you set. Select the date you want the payment to post each month — many people choose a date shortly after they get paid. Choose your payment source: a checking or savings account (free) or a debit card (possible fee).
Confirm the setup. Your payment will post automatically on the date you chose each month. You can change or cancel automatic payments anytime through your account settings. Even with automatic payments set up, check your account regularly to make sure the payment posts and your balance is correct.
What to do if your payment does not post
If you made a payment online or by phone and it still shows as pending after one business day, log into your account and check the payment status. Most payments post within 24 hours. If it has been longer, contact Capital One at the number on your card to confirm the payment was received.
If you mailed a check and it has been more than 10 business days, call Capital One to ask if the payment has arrived. Have your account number and the check amount ready. If the check was lost in the mail, Capital One can help you stop payment and resubmit the payment online or by phone instead.
If a payment was applied to the wrong account or the wrong amount was charged, contact Capital One when ready. They can reverse the payment and reprocess it correctly. Keep your confirmation numbers so you can reference the original payment details.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay my Capital One Walmart card with another credit card?
No, Capital One does not accept credit card payments for your Walmart card. You can only pay with a checking or savings account, debit card, or cash (in person at Walmart). Paying a credit card with another credit card typically counts as a cash advance and carries high fees and interest.
What time do online payments post?
Payments submitted online before 11:59 p.m. Eastern typically post the same business day. Payments submitted after that time or on weekends and holidays post the next business day. Capital One will show you the expected posting date before you confirm the payment.
Is there a fee to pay my Capital One Walmart card?
Paying from a checking or savings account is free. Paying from a debit card may carry a fee, which Capital One will disclose before you confirm the payment. Paying by mail, phone, or in person at Walmart is also free.
What if I pay after my due date?
A late fee will be charged if your payment is not received by your due date. The amount varies but is listed in your card agreement. A late payment also appears on your credit report. If you miss a due date, pay as soon as possible to stop additional fees and interest from building up.
Can I set up automatic payments for a specific date each month?
Yes. When you set up automatic payments, you choose the date each month that the payment should post. Pick a date shortly after you get paid so the money is in your account. You can change the date anytime through your account settings.
