Pay your Credit One bill online, by phone, or by mail
Credit One Bank lets you pay your bill through their online account portal, by calling their customer service line, or by mailing a check. The fastest method is online — payments post the same business day if you submit before the cutoff time, usually 8 p.m. Eastern. Phone payments also process the same day. Mail payments take 5 to 7 business days to reach the bank and post to your account.
You'll need your account number and either a bank account for electronic transfer or a debit card to make a payment. If you're paying by mail, you can send a check or money order to the address shown on your statement.

Pay online through your Credit One account
Log in to your Credit One account at creditonebank.com using your username and password. If you don't have an online account yet, you can create one by entering your card number, Social Security number, and date of birth on their login page.
Once logged in, look for a "Make a Payment" or "Pay My Bill" button, usually on the dashboard or account summary page. Enter the amount you want to pay and choose your payment method — either a bank account (checking or savings) or a debit card. Review the payment details and confirm. You'll receive a confirmation number when ready.
Credit One does not charge a fee for online payments made from a bank account. If you pay with a debit card, the bank may charge a small processing fee depending on your card issuer, though Credit One itself does not add a fee.
Pay by phone with a customer service representative
Call Credit One's customer service number, which is printed on the back of your card and on your monthly statement. Have your account number and payment method ready — either your bank account information or a debit card number.
A representative will ask you to confirm your identity, usually by providing your Social Security number or date of birth. Tell them the amount you want to pay and confirm the payment method. The representative will process the payment and give you a confirmation number. Keep this number for your records.
Phone payments process the same business day if you call before the cutoff time. Credit One does not charge a fee for phone payments.
Pay by mail with a check or money order
Write a check or money order for the amount you owe. On the back of the check, write your Credit One account number so the bank can match the payment to your account. Include a payment stub from your statement if you have one — this also helps the bank process your payment faster.
Mail your payment to the address shown on your statement under "Payment Address" or "Make Payments To." This address is different from the mailing address for other correspondence, so use the one listed for payments only.
Mail payments typically take 5 to 7 business days to arrive and post to your account. To avoid a late fee, mail your payment at least 10 days before your due date. Credit One does not charge a fee for mailed payments.
Set up automatic payments to pay on time every month
Automatic payments remove the risk of forgetting your due date. Log in to your Credit One account online and look for an "Autopay" or "Automatic Payments" section, usually under account settings or payment options. Select the amount you want to pay automatically — you can choose to pay your full statement balance, a fixed amount, or your minimum payment.
Choose the date each month when you want the payment to come out of your bank account. Most people pick a date shortly after payday or after they receive income. Credit One will deduct the payment automatically on that date each month.
You can change or cancel automatic payments anytime through your online account. If you cancel, you'll need to make manual payments again to avoid late fees.
Understand late fees and how they affect your account
Credit One charges a late fee if your payment is not received by the due date shown on your statement. The fee amount depends on your card terms, but typically ranges from $25 to $40 for the first late payment. A second late payment within six months may result in a higher fee.
A late payment also appears on your credit report and can lower your credit score. If your payment is 30 days or more late, Credit One may report it to the credit bureaus. This negative mark can stay on your credit report for up to seven years.
If you miss a payment, contact Credit One as soon as possible. Some customers are able to have a single late fee waived if they have a good payment history and call to explain their situation, though the bank is not required to do so.
What to do if you can't pay your full balance
You are not required to pay your full statement balance each month. You can pay any amount that is at least your minimum payment, shown on your statement. However, any balance you don't pay will accrue interest at your card's annual percentage rate (APR).
If you're struggling to pay, contact Credit One's customer service to discuss your options. Some cardholders are able to work out a payment plan or hardship arrangement, though this depends on your individual situation and Credit One's policies at the time you call.
Paying more than the minimum each month will reduce the total interest you pay and help you pay off your balance faster.
