Paying your Banana Republic card through Barclays online

The Banana Republic credit card is issued by Barclays Bank, so you pay your bill through Barclays' website at bananarepublic.barclaysus.com. You can make a one-time payment, set up automatic payments, or pay early without penalty. The site lets you choose your payment amount and date, and the payment posts within one to two business days.

You'll need your Barclays username and password to log in. If you don't have an account yet, you can create one on the same site using your card number and other identifying information. Once you're logged in, the payment option appears in the main menu.

Key Takeaways

  • Log in at bananarepublic.barclaysus.com with your Barclays username and password to reach the payment screen.
  • You can pay any amount from the minimum due to your full balance, and payments post within one to two business days.
  • Setting up automatic payments ensures you never miss a due date, and you can change or cancel the arrangement anytime.
  • If you pay by phone or mail instead, Barclays provides those options on the same website, though online payment is fastest.

Making a one-time payment online

After you log in, select "Make a Payment" or "Pay Now" from the menu. The site will show your current balance, minimum payment due, and the due date. Enter the amount you want to pay — this can be anything from the minimum to the full balance — and choose the date you want the payment to leave your bank account.

Barclays will ask you to confirm the bank account the money is coming from. If this is your first payment, you'll need to add your bank details. Have your routing number and account number ready; you can find these on a check or by logging into your bank's website. After you confirm, the payment is submitted and you'll see a confirmation number on screen.

Setting up automatic payments

Automatic payments mean your bill is paid on the same day each month without you having to log in. This is useful if you want to avoid late fees or if you prefer a set routine. On the payment screen, look for an option to "Set Up Automatic Payments" or "Recurring Payments."

You'll choose the amount (minimum due, a fixed dollar amount, or the full balance each month), the day of the month you want it to happen, and the bank account it should come from. Once it's set up, the payment happens automatically until you cancel it. You can change the amount or date anytime by logging back in, and you can stop the payments whenever you want.

Paying by phone or mail if you can't use the website

If you prefer not to pay online, Barclays accepts payments by phone and by mail. The phone number and mailing address are on your monthly statement and on the Barclays website. Phone payments are processed the same day you call, while mail payments take longer to arrive and post.

When you pay by phone, a representative will ask for your card number, the amount, and the bank account you're paying from. You'll receive a confirmation number. Mail payments should include your account number and the payment amount; write a check or money order and send it to the address on your statement. Mail payments typically take five to seven business days to post after Barclays receives them.

What happens if you miss a payment or pay late

If your payment doesn't arrive by the due date, Barclays may charge a late fee. The amount depends on your card terms, but it's usually between $25 and $40 for the first late payment. A late payment also appears on your credit report and can raise your interest rate.

If you realize you're going to miss the due date, contact Barclays as soon as possible. Some cardholders can ask for a one-time courtesy waiver of the late fee, though this is not may provide. Paying even a small amount before the due date shows good faith and may help if you need to ask for leniency.

Understanding your statement and balance

Your Barclays statement shows several numbers: the new balance (what you owe), the minimum payment due, and the due date. The new balance includes purchases, fees, and interest charged since your last statement. The minimum payment is the smallest amount Barclays will accept; paying only the minimum means you'll pay interest on the rest.

If you carry a balance from month to month, interest accrues daily at your card's annual percentage rate (APR). Paying the full balance by the due date means you pay no interest. You can see your current balance and due date anytime by logging into bananarepublic.barclaysus.com, even between statements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for my payment to show up?

Online payments typically post within one to two business days. Phone payments post the same day. Mail payments take five to seven business days after Barclays receives them. The date the payment leaves your bank account may be different from the date it posts to your credit card.

Can I pay more than my balance?

Yes. If you pay more than you owe, the extra amount becomes a credit on your account. You can use this credit toward future purchases, or you can request a refund by contacting Barclays.

What if I don't have online banking set up yet?

You can create a Barclays online account using your card number, Social Security number, and date of birth. The site will walk you through the setup. Once your account is active, you can pay when ready.

Is there a fee to pay my bill online?

No. Barclays does not charge a fee for paying your bill online, by phone, or by mail. The only charges are late fees if you miss the due date, or interest if you carry a balance.

Can I change my payment after I submit it?

If the payment hasn't posted yet, contact Barclays customer service to see if they can cancel or modify it. Once a payment posts to your account, it cannot be reversed. You would need to make a separate transaction if you need to adjust the amount.
