Pay your Marcus card online, by phone, or by mail
Marcus by Goldman Sachs lets you pay your credit card bill through their online portal, by phone, or by mailing a check. The fastest method is online through your Marcus account — payments post the same business day if you submit before the cutoff time, usually 8 p.m. Eastern. Phone payments take the same amount of time but require you to speak with a representative. Mail payments take 7 to 10 business days to reach Marcus and post after that.
You do not need to use Marcus's own payment system. You can also set up automatic payments from your bank account, or pay through a third-party bill pay service if your bank offers one. The key is knowing your account number and the payment address or portal login before you start.

Pay online through your Marcus account
Log in to your Marcus account at marcus.com using your email address and password. Click on the card you want to pay, then select "Make a Payment" or the payment option shown on your dashboard. Enter the amount you want to pay — you can pay your full balance, the minimum payment, or any amount in between. Review the payment amount and confirm.
Marcus will show you the expected posting date. If you submit before 8 p.m. Eastern on a business day, the payment posts the next business day. Payments submitted after 8 p.m. or on weekends and holidays post on the next business day after that. You will receive a confirmation number when ready; save or screenshot it for your records.
Pay by phone with a Marcus representative
Call Marcus customer service at 1-888-297-5285. Have your account number ready, which appears on your statement or in your online account. A representative will ask you to confirm your identity, then tell you your current balance and due date. You can pay your full balance, minimum payment, or a specific amount.
Phone payments post on the same timeline as online payments — the same business day if you call before 8 p.m. Eastern, or the next business day otherwise. The representative will give you a confirmation number. Write it down or ask them to email it to you.
Pay by mail
Write a check payable to Marcus by Goldman Sachs. Include your account number on the check itself. Mail it to the address shown on your statement — this address changes based on where payments are processed, so always use the current statement address rather than an old one.
Mail typically takes 7 to 10 business days to arrive. Marcus then needs additional time to open, sort, and post the payment. Plan to mail your payment at least two weeks before your due date to avoid a late payment. If your due date is within 10 days, use online or phone payment instead.
Set up automatic payments from your bank
You can tell your own bank to send a payment to Marcus automatically each month. Log into your bank's website or app, go to bill pay or payments, and add Marcus by Goldman Sachs as a payee. You will need to provide the mailing address from your Marcus statement. Set the payment amount and the date you want it sent each month.
Automatic payments from your bank take the same 7 to 10 business days as mailed checks. The advantage is that you do not have to remember to write and mail a check each month. The disadvantage is that you remain responsible if the payment fails — for example, if your bank account does not have enough funds. Check your Marcus account a few days after the scheduled payment date to confirm it posted.
What to do if a payment does not post
If you made a payment but do not see it in your account within the expected timeframe, log into Marcus and check your payment history. Online and phone payments show a confirmation number and expected posting date. If the posting date has passed and the payment is not there, call 1-888-297-5285 and provide your confirmation number.
For mailed checks, allow the full 7 to 10 business days plus a few extra days for processing before contacting Marcus. If more than two weeks have passed since you mailed the check, call and ask Marcus to search for it. They can tell you whether it arrived and posted, or whether it is still in the mail.
Late payment fees and interest
Marcus charges a late fee if your payment does not post by the due date shown on your statement. The fee amount depends on your balance and your account history. Late payments also trigger a higher interest rate on your remaining balance, which can last for several months even after you catch up.
If you are close to your due date, use online or phone payment to may support it posts on time. If you have already missed a due date, call Marcus when ready. They may be able to waive a single late fee if you have a good payment history, though this is not may provide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay my Marcus card from another bank's bill pay system?
Yes. Add Marcus by Goldman Sachs as a payee in your bank's bill pay system using the mailing address from your statement. The payment will take 7 to 10 business days to arrive, the same as mailing a check yourself. Confirm the payment posted in your Marcus account a few days after the expected arrival date.
What time does the 8 p.m. cutoff explore to?
The 8 p.m. Eastern cutoff applies to online and phone payments. If you submit or call after 8 p.m. Eastern, your payment posts the next business day instead of the same day. This applies every day, including weekends — if you pay online at 9 p.m. on a Friday, it posts on Monday.
Do I have to pay my full balance each month?
No. You can pay any amount from the minimum payment up to your full balance. If you pay less than the full balance, interest accrues on the remaining balance at your card's APR. Paying only the minimum takes much longer to pay off the card and costs significantly more in interest.
What happens if I pay more than I owe?
Marcus will hold the overpayment as a credit on your account. You can use it toward your next month's bill, or call 1-888-297-5285 to request a refund. Refunds typically take 5 to 7 business days to appear in your bank account.
Can I set up a payment for a future date?
Online payments must be submitted when ready; you cannot schedule them in advance through Marcus's portal. However, you can set up automatic recurring payments through your own bank's bill pay system and choose the date each month. Alternatively, call Marcus and ask whether they can schedule a one-time payment for a specific future date.
