OpenSky customer service phone number and hours
OpenSky's main customer service line is 1-866-697-6359. The line is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern time, and Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern time. The company is closed on Sundays and major U.S. holidays.
When you call, have your card number and Social Security number ready. The automated system will route you based on your reason for calling — account questions, fraud reports, or payment issues each have separate queues. Wait times vary by time of day and day of week; calling early morning or mid-week typically means shorter holds than late afternoon or Friday.
If you are calling about a lost or stolen card, you can report it 24 hours a day through the same number. The system will flag your account when ready and issue a replacement card, which ships within 5 to 7 business days.

What to expect when you call
The OpenSky phone system uses an automated menu that asks why you are calling. Common reasons include checking your balance, reporting fraud, making a payment, asking about your credit limit, or updating your contact information. Select the option that matches your reason, and the system will route you to the appropriate department.
If your issue is straightforward — checking a balance, confirming a recent charge, or updating an address — the automated system may resolve it without transferring you to a representative. For more complex issues like disputing a charge or discussing your account status, you will be placed in a queue for a live agent.
Representatives can discuss your account history, explain fees, help you understand your statement, and process requests like temporary credit limit increases or payment arrangements. They cannot change your interest rate or waive fees, but they can explain why a fee was charged and discuss your options.
Contacting OpenSky by mail or online
If you prefer not to call, you can reach OpenSky by mail at OpenSky, P.O. Box 15298, Wilmington, DE 19850-5298. Mail typically takes 7 to 10 business days to arrive and receive a response, so this method is best for non-urgent matters like updating your mailing address or requesting a copy of your account agreement.
OpenSky does not offer live chat or email support through its website. However, you can log into your online account at openskycc.com to view your balance, make payments, update your contact information, and read statements. The online portal is available 24 hours a day.
For questions about your account that do not require when ready attention, logging in online is often faster than calling. You can also set up automatic payments through the portal to avoid late fees and reduce the need to contact customer service.
Reporting fraud and disputing charges
If you notice an unauthorized charge on your OpenSky card, call 1-866-697-6359 and select the fraud reporting option. You do not have to wait for a representative; the automated system will begin the dispute process when ready and issue a temporary credit while the investigation takes place.
When you speak with a representative about a disputed charge, have the transaction details ready — the merchant name, the date, and the amount. OpenSky will investigate within 30 to 60 days and notify you of the outcome in writing. If the charge is found to be unauthorized, the credit becomes permanent and the charge is removed from your account.
For charges you recognize but believe are incorrect — a duplicate charge, a wrong amount, or a charge from a merchant you did not authorize — the dispute process is the same. Document what you remember about the transaction and why you believe it is wrong, as this information helps speed up the investigation.
Payment and account management by phone
When you call OpenSky, you can make a one-time payment over the phone using a bank account or debit card. Have your routing number and account number ready if you are paying from a bank account. Payments made before 5 p.m. Eastern time on a business day typically post the same day; payments made after that time or on weekends post the next business day.
You can also discuss your account balance, recent transactions, and available credit. If you are close to your credit limit and want to know whether a pending charge will go through, a representative can tell you your current available balance. This is useful if you are planning a large purchase and want to avoid a declined transaction.
If you are having trouble making a payment, call to discuss a payment plan. OpenSky does not always advertise hardship programs, but representatives can sometimes work with you on timing or amount if you explain your situation. This is worth doing before you miss a payment, as it may prevent a late fee and a report to the credit bureaus.
Understanding OpenSky's card and account features
OpenSky is a secured credit card, meaning you deposit money into a savings account that serves as collateral for your credit line. Your credit limit equals your deposit amount, usually between $200 and $2,500. If you have questions about how your deposit works, whether you can increase it, or how it affects your credit score, customer service can walk you through the details.
The card charges an annual fee (currently $35) and a monthly maintenance fee (currently $6.95). These fees are deducted from your deposit account, not charged to your card balance. If you are unsure why a charge appeared in your deposit account, calling customer service can clarify whether it is a scheduled fee or an unexpected charge.
After 18 months of on-time payments, you may be offered the chance to convert to an unsecured card or to graduate your account. This means your deposit is returned and you keep the card with a higher credit limit. Customer service can tell you whether you are may be able to access and what the next steps are.
