Register for online access if you are a new cardholder
When you receive your Bread Credit Card, you will need to create an online account before you can log in. Go to the Bread Financial website and select the option to register as a new user. You will be asked to enter your card number, the expiration date, and your Social Security number to verify who you are.
After you provide this information, you will create a username and password. Choose a password that is at least 8 characters long and includes a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Write down your username and password in a safe place, or use a password manager to store them securely.
What to do if you forget your password
If you cannot remember your password, click the "Forgot Password" link on the Bread Financial login page. You will be asked to enter your username or the email address associated with your account. Bread will send you a link to reset your password, usually within a few minutes.
Click the link in the email and follow the steps to create a new password. If you do not see the email in your inbox, check your spam or junk folder. If you still cannot find it after 10 minutes, you can request another reset link.
Use your PIN if you do not have a username yet
If you have not yet registered for online access, you can still log in temporarily using your card number and PIN. Your PIN is the four-digit number you created when you activated your card by phone. Enter your card number and PIN on the Bread Financial login page to view basic account information.
This temporary login method gives you access to your balance and recent transactions, but you will not be able to make payments or change your account settings. To unlock full access, you will need to complete the online registration process described above.
View your balance and recent transactions after logging in
Once you are logged into your account, your dashboard will show your current balance, credit limit, and available credit. You can also see a list of your recent transactions, organized by date. Each transaction shows the merchant name, the amount charged, and the date the charge posted to your account.
If you see a transaction you do not recognize, you can report it through your online account or by calling the customer service number on the back of your card. Keep your login information private and do not share your username, password, or PIN with anyone.
Make a payment from your online account
To make a payment, log into your account and select the payment option from the menu. You can pay from a bank account, a debit card, or a credit card. Enter the amount you want to pay and the date you want the payment to be processed. Payments made before 8 p.m. Eastern Time usually post to your account the next business day.
You can also set up automatic payments so that a fixed amount is withdrawn from your bank account on the same date each month. This helps you avoid late payments and stay on top of your balance. You can change or cancel automatic payments at any time through your online account.
Troubleshoot common login problems
If you see an error message when you try to log in, first check that you have entered your username and password correctly. Passwords are case-sensitive, so make sure Caps Lock is not turned on. If you are still unable to log in after checking your spelling, try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, then log in again.
If your account has been locked due to multiple failed login attempts, wait 24 hours before trying again. You can also call Bread Financial customer service at the number on the back of your card to unlock your account when ready. Have your card number and the last four digits of your Social Security number ready when you call.
