Maurices online bill payment basics

Maurices offers an online payment option through their website and mobile app, letting you pay your Maurices credit card bill without calling or visiting a store. You log in to your account, enter the amount you want to pay, and choose your payment method — usually a bank account or debit card. The payment posts to your account within one to two business days, though the exact timing depends on when you submit it and your bank's processing speed.

You can also set up automatic payments so a fixed amount or your full balance withdraws on a date you choose each month. This removes the step of logging in each time, but you remain responsible if the payment fails or if you don't have enough money in your account on that date.

Key Takeaways

  • Log in at maurices.com or use the Maurices mobile app to pay your bill online without calling customer service.
  • Payments typically post within one to two business days, so plan ahead if your due date is soon.
  • You can set up automatic payments to withdraw a fixed amount or your full balance on a date you choose each month.
  • If a payment fails due to insufficient funds or an expired card, you will be responsible for any late fees your card issuer charges.

Steps to make a one-time payment online

Start by going to maurices.com and signing into your account using your email address and password. If you don't have an online account yet, you'll need to create one — this usually takes a few minutes and requires your card number, zip code, and other basic information.

Once logged in, look for a "Pay Bill" or "Make a Payment" link, usually in the account or billing section. Enter the amount you want to pay, then select your payment method. Most people use a checking or savings account (which Maurices calls an ACH payment) or a debit card. Review the details, confirm the payment, and you'll see a confirmation number. Save or print this for your records.

The payment won't show as posted immediately — it takes one to two business days for the money to move from your bank to Maurices. If you're close to your due date, don't wait until the last day to pay online, because a payment submitted on the due date itself may not post in time to avoid a late fee.

Setting up automatic payments

Automatic payments save time if you pay the same amount each month or always pay your full balance. In your online account, find the automatic payment or recurring payment section. You'll choose the amount (either a fixed dollar amount or your full statement balance), the date each month when the payment should process, and your payment method.

Maurices will withdraw the money on or around the date you pick. If that date falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment may process the next business day. Make sure you have enough money in your account on that date — if the payment fails, you could face overdraft fees from your bank and a late fee from Maurices.

You can change or cancel automatic payments anytime through your online account. If you cancel, you'll need to go back to making one-time payments, so don't assume the payment will stop on its own.

Payment methods and what they cost

Maurices accepts payments from a checking or savings account (ACH transfer) and from debit cards. There is no fee to pay with either method — Maurices does not charge you extra for paying online. Your bank may charge a fee if you overdraft, but that's between you and your bank, not something Maurices controls.

Credit cards are usually not accepted as a payment method for your Maurices bill, because you'd be using one credit card to pay another, which most issuers don't allow. If you need to pay with a credit card, call Maurices customer service to ask whether they have an exception or alternative.

What happens if your payment fails

A payment can fail for a few reasons: your bank account doesn't have enough money, your debit card is expired or has been reported lost, or there's a technical problem on either Maurices's or your bank's end. When a payment fails, Maurices will usually send you a notice by email or mail, but don't wait for that — log into your account to check whether the payment went through.

If a payment fails, you're still responsible for paying your bill by the due date. A late payment will show on your credit report and trigger a late fee from Maurices (the amount varies). Your card issuer may also charge interest on the unpaid balance starting from the day after your due date. If automatic payments keep failing, switch to one-time payments or call Maurices to troubleshoot the issue.

Late payments and what they cost you

A payment is late if it doesn't post by your due date. Maurices charges a late fee — the exact amount depends on your card agreement, but it's typically $25 to $40 for the first late payment. If you're late again within six months, the fee may be higher.

Late payments also affect your credit score. The payment will show on your credit report as 30 days late, 60 days late, or 90 days late depending on how long you wait. A 30-day late payment can lower your score by 100 points or more. Your card issuer may also raise your interest rate, sometimes to a penalty rate that applies to your entire balance, not just new purchases.

If you know you'll miss a due date, contact Maurices before the date arrives. Some card issuers will waive a late fee if you call and ask, especially if you've paid on time before. It's worth asking rather than paying the fee and accepting the credit damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pay my Maurices bill at a store instead of online?

Yes. You can walk into any Maurices store and ask to make a payment at the register. They can take a debit card or cash. Store payments may post faster than online payments because they're processed immediately, but online is more convenient if you can't reach a store during business hours.

What if I pay more than I owe?

The extra amount becomes a credit on your account. You can use it toward your next purchase or request a refund by calling Maurices customer service. Refunds typically take five to seven business days to appear in your bank account.

Do I need to create an online account to pay my bill?

Yes, you need to log in to maurices.com or the app to pay online. If you don't have an account, you can create one using your card number and zip code. Alternatively, you can call Maurices customer service to pay over the phone without setting up an online account.

How do I know if my payment posted?

Log into your online account and check your account balance and recent transactions. You should see the payment listed within one to two business days. You can also call Maurices customer service and they'll confirm whether the payment has posted.

What should I do if I'm having trouble logging in?

Use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset your password. If that doesn't work, call Maurices customer service — they can verify your identity and help you regain access to your account or process a payment over the phone.
