Pay your TJ Maxx credit card online, by phone, or by mail
TJ Maxx credit card payments go to Synchrony Bank, which handles the account on behalf of TJ Maxx. You can pay online through your Synchrony account, call the customer service number on the back of your card, mail a check to the address listed on your statement, or pay in person at any TJ Maxx store. The method you choose depends on how quickly you need the payment to post and whether you prefer digital or paper records.
Your payment due date appears on your monthly statement. Payments made online or by phone typically post within one business day. Mail payments take five to seven business days to arrive and process, so plan ahead if you are paying by check. If you miss your due date, Synchrony charges a late fee and may report the missed payment to credit bureaus.

Pay online through your Synchrony account
Log in to your Synchrony account at synchronybank.com or through the Synchrony mobile app. Enter your card number and password, or create an account if this is your first time logging in. Once you are signed in, select "Make a Payment" and choose the amount you want to pay — you can pay the full balance, the minimum payment, or a custom amount.
Review the payment details and confirm. Synchrony will show you when the payment will post, usually the next business day. You can pay from a checking or savings account linked to your Synchrony profile. Keep a record of your confirmation number for your records.
Pay by phone with Synchrony customer service
Call the number on the back of your TJ Maxx credit card to reach Synchrony's automated payment line or speak to a representative. Have your card number and bank account information ready. The automated system will walk you through entering the payment amount and confirming the transaction. If you speak to a representative, they can answer questions about your balance or payment history while processing your payment.
Phone payments post within one business day. Synchrony will provide a confirmation number at the end of the call. Write it down or take a screenshot for your records.
Pay by mail with a check or money order
Write a check or money order for the amount you owe and include your account number on the memo line. The mailing address for payments appears on your monthly statement — do not send payment to a TJ Maxx store location. Mail your payment at least seven to ten days before your due date to account for delivery and processing time.
Keep a copy of your check or money order receipt. Payments sent by mail take five to seven business days to arrive and process, so if you are close to your due date, use online or phone payment instead to avoid a late fee.
Pay in person at a TJ Maxx store
Visit any TJ Maxx location and ask a cashier or customer service associate to process a credit card payment. You can pay with cash, debit card, or another payment method — the store will direct the payment to your Synchrony account. Bring your TJ Maxx credit card or account number so the associate can link the payment correctly.
In-store payments typically post within one to two business days. Ask for a receipt showing the payment amount and date. This method works well if you are already shopping at TJ Maxx and want to make a payment on the spot.
Set up automatic payments to avoid late fees
Log into your Synchrony account and select "Autopay" or "Automatic Payments" from the account settings menu. Choose whether you want to pay the full statement balance, the minimum payment, or a fixed amount each month. Select your payment due date, and Synchrony will automatically deduct the payment from your bank account on that date each month.
Automatic payments remove the risk of forgetting a due date and triggering a late fee. You can change or cancel autopay at any time through your Synchrony account. Review your statement each month to make sure the automatic payment amount still matches what you want to pay.
Understand late fees and credit reporting
If your payment does not arrive by the due date shown on your statement, Synchrony charges a late fee. The amount varies but typically ranges from $25 to $40 for the first late payment. Payments that are 30 days or more past due are reported to credit bureaus and can lower your credit score.
If you miss a payment, contact Synchrony as soon as possible. Some customers can negotiate a one-time late fee waiver if they have a good payment history. The sooner you bring your account current, the less damage to your credit. Set a phone reminder or calendar alert for your due date if automatic payments are not an option for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find my Synchrony account number?
Your account number appears on your TJ Maxx credit card statement and on the front of your physical card. You can also find it by logging into your Synchrony account online or calling the customer service number on the back of your card.
Can I pay my TJ Maxx card with a credit card?
No, Synchrony does not accept credit card payments for your TJ Maxx account. You can pay with a checking or savings account, cash, debit card (at a store location), check, or money order.
What happens if I pay more than the minimum?
Paying more than the minimum reduces your balance faster and lowers the interest you owe. Any amount over the minimum is applied to your account when ready. You can pay the full balance, a partial amount, or the minimum — the choice is yours each month.
How long does it take for a payment to show on my account?
Online and phone payments post within one business day. In-store payments post within one to two business days. Mail payments take five to seven business days to arrive and process. Check your Synchrony account to confirm the payment has posted.
What if I cannot pay my full balance by the due date?
Pay at least the minimum payment by your due date to avoid a late fee. You can pay the remaining balance later, though interest will accrue on the unpaid amount. If you are having trouble making payments, contact Synchrony to discuss your options.
