Call Kohl's customer service to make a credit card payment over the phone

You can pay your Kohl's credit card bill by calling Kohl's customer service at 1-855-564-5705. This number connects you to a representative who can process your payment directly during the call. The line is open seven days a week, and you'll need your card number and payment amount ready when you call.

Payments made by phone are typically posted to your account within one business day. If you call after business hours, your call will be routed to an automated system that can also process payments, or you can leave a message for a representative to call you back during regular hours.

Have your Kohl's credit card, checking account information, or debit card details available before you dial. The representative will ask you to verify your identity and confirm the payment amount before processing the transaction.

What information you need to provide

Before calling, gather your Kohl's credit card number and your current statement or bill. You'll also need the payment method you plan to use — either a checking account number and routing number, or a debit card number with expiration date and CVV.

The representative will ask you to confirm your full name, address, and the last four digits of your Social Security number to verify your identity. This protects your account from unauthorized payments. Have your driver's license or state ID nearby if you're unsure of any of these details.

If you're calling to make a payment on behalf of someone else, you may need written authorization from the account holder. Kohl's policy on authorized payments varies, so ask the representative what documentation they need.

Payment methods accepted by phone

Kohl's accepts payments from a checking or savings account, a debit card, or another Kohl's credit card. You cannot pay with a credit card from another issuer (such as Visa or Mastercard) when calling the customer service line.

If you want to pay with a major credit card, you can do so through Kohl's website or mobile app, or by visiting a store in person. Some third-party payment processors also accept credit card payments for Kohl's bills, but they typically charge a convenience fee that Kohl's does not.

When your payment posts and how to confirm it

Payments made by phone before 5 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day usually post within 24 hours. Payments made after 5 p.m. or on weekends and holidays may not post until the next business day. Your statement will show the payment as a credit to your account once it has been processed.

After you hang up, you'll receive a confirmation number for your payment. Write this number down or take a screenshot if the representative provides it by text or email. Keep this confirmation until the payment appears on your next statement.

If your payment does not appear within two business days, call customer service again with your confirmation number. A representative can look up the transaction and tell you whether it was processed or if there was an error.

Automatic payments as an alternative to calling each month

If you make regular payments, setting up automatic payments through Kohl's website or app may save you time. You can schedule payments for a fixed amount on a date you choose each month, or set up automatic payments for your full statement balance.

To set up automatic payments, log into your Kohl's credit card account online, go to the payment settings, and enter your bank account or debit card information. You can change or cancel automatic payments at any time through the same menu.

Automatic payments still post within one business day and do not incur a fee. If you prefer to speak with someone about setting up automatic payments, the customer service representative can also do this during a phone call.

What to do if you cannot reach customer service

If the phone line is busy or you prefer not to call, you can pay your Kohl's credit card bill online through the Kohl's website or mobile app. Log into your account, select "Make a Payment," and choose your payment method and amount. Online payments post within one business day and do not require speaking with a representative.

You can also pay in person at any Kohl's store. Visit the customer service desk and tell them you want to make a credit card payment. They will process the payment and give you a receipt. In-store payments typically post within one business day as well.

If you have questions about your account that go beyond making a payment — such as a dispute or a question about your balance — the phone line is usually faster than other methods because a representative can look up your account details in real time.
