Where and how to pay your Kohl's Card
You can pay your Kohl's Card bill online through your account at Kohls.com, by phone at 1-844-564-5725, by mail, or in person at any Kohl's store. The online method is fastest — you log in, select the payment amount, and the transaction posts within one to two business days. Phone payments work the same way but require speaking to a representative. Mail payments take seven to ten business days to reach the processing center, so send them early if your due date is near.
In-store payments at the customer service desk are when ready and useful if you prefer handling money face-to-face or need a receipt on the spot. You will need your account number or the card itself. Whichever method you choose, the payment is applied to your account once it clears, and your available credit updates accordingly.

Paying online through your Kohl's account
Log in to Kohls.com using your email address and password. Click on "Account" or "My Account" in the top right corner, then select "Manage Your Card" or "Credit Card." You will see your current balance, minimum payment due, and due date. Click "Make a Payment" and enter the amount you want to pay — you can pay the full balance, the minimum, or any amount in between.
Enter or confirm your bank account information (routing number and account number) or use a saved payment method if you have set one up before. Review the details and confirm the payment. You will receive a confirmation number on screen and by email. The payment typically posts within one to two business days, though it may take longer if you pay late in the evening or on a weekend.
Paying by phone or mail
To pay by phone, call 1-844-564-5725 during customer service hours. Have your account number or card number ready, along with your bank account information or another payment method. A representative will walk you through the process and provide a confirmation number. Phone payments post on the same timeline as online payments.
To pay by mail, send a check or money order to the address listed on your monthly statement under "Payment Address." Write your account number on the check. Mail payments take seven to ten business days to arrive and post, so send them at least two weeks before your due date if you want to avoid a late payment. Keep a copy of your check or money order for your records.
Making payments in person at Kohl's
Visit the customer service desk at any Kohl's store and tell them you want to pay your Kohl's Card bill. Bring your card or have your account number ready. You can pay with cash, a debit card, or another credit card. The payment is processed when ready, and you will receive a receipt showing the amount paid and your new balance.
In-store payments are useful if you shop at Kohl's regularly or prefer not to pay online. There is no fee for paying in person, and your payment posts to your account right away. Your available credit updates within hours.
Understanding your payment due date and minimum payment
Your due date is the last day of the month shown on your statement to pay without a late fee. Your minimum payment is the smallest amount you must pay to keep your account in good standing. The minimum is usually 1 to 3 percent of your balance, plus any fees or interest charges. You can see both on your monthly statement and in your online account.
Paying only the minimum keeps your account current but leaves most of your balance to accrue interest. If you carry a balance month to month, paying more than the minimum reduces the total interest you pay over time. Paying the full balance by the due date means you pay no interest at all.
What happens if you miss a payment
If your payment does not arrive by the due date, your account is considered late. A late fee (typically $25 to $35, depending on your account terms) is added to your balance. Your interest rate may also increase, and the late payment is reported to credit bureaus, which can lower your credit score. The impact on your score is larger the longer the payment remains unpaid.
If you miss a payment, pay as soon as you can. Contact Kohl's customer service at 1-844-564-5725 to discuss your options. Some cardholders can negotiate a one-time fee waiver if the late payment is their first, though this is not may provide. The sooner you bring the account current, the less damage occurs to your credit history.
Setting up automatic payments
You can set up automatic payments through your online account to pay a fixed amount on a date you choose each month. Log in to Kohls.com, go to your card account, and look for "Autopay" or "Automatic Payments." Select the amount (minimum payment, full balance, or a custom amount) and the date you want it to come out of your bank account. Automatic payments reduce the risk of forgetting a due date.
You can change or cancel automatic payments at any time through your account. If you set autopay to the full balance, your account will have a zero balance each month and you will pay no interest. If you set it to the minimum, you will still carry a balance and pay interest on the remaining amount.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay my Kohl's Card with another credit card?
You can pay in person at a Kohl's store using another credit card. Online and phone payments require a bank account or debit card. Paying a credit card with another credit card typically incurs a cash advance fee, so check your terms first.
How long does it take for my payment to show up?
Online and phone payments post within one to two business days. In-store payments post when ready. Mail payments take seven to ten business days. Weekends and holidays may add extra time to all methods.
What if I pay more than my balance?
If you overpay, the extra amount becomes a credit on your account. You can use it toward future purchases or request a refund by calling 1-844-564-5725. Refunds are typically mailed within seven to ten business days.
Is there a fee for paying my Kohl's Card?
No. Kohl's does not charge a fee for any payment method — online, phone, mail, or in person. Late fees only explore if your payment arrives after the due date.
Can I pay someone else's Kohl's Card bill?
You can make a payment on someone else's account if you have their permission and account number. Call 1-844-564-5725 or pay in person at a store. Online payments typically require the account holder's login credentials.
