Here’s how to get a Capital One credit card PIN:

• Online. Log into your Capital One account and click on “More Account Settings,” then “Control Your Card,” and finally “Get a Cash Advance.” You may have the option to get a PIN instantly by email or text. Otherwise, you’ll have to request one by mail, and it will take 7-10 business days to arrive.
• Phone. Call the number you see on the back of your card, enter your card number and follow the prompts to request a PIN. You’ll get it by mail in 7-10 business days. If you already have a PIN and want to change it, you can choose a new number right away.

Ordering a Capital One credit card PIN for emergency cash advances isn’t a bad idea, but you should be careful not to use your card at an ATM too often. Cash advances come with hefty fees, and interest starts accruing immediately.

You can pay your credit card bill in person at a Capital One branch, or at the Money Services counters in Kroger brand stores. You can also make a payment at MoneyGram and Western Union locations, which can be found inside Walmart, Rite Aid, Walgreens, and Money Tree stores.

Capital One credit card payments need to be made by 8:00 PM ET, Monday-Saturday in order to post the next day. It is a good rule of thumb for any credit card to not wait until the due date to make your payment.

Here’s where you can pay your Capital One credit card bill in person:

1. Capital One Bank: You can pay your Capital One credit card bill in person at any branch location. All Capital One bank branches are closed on Sundays and during federal holidays.
2. Money Services: Money Services is offered at Kroger-owned stores, including Fred Meyer, QFC, Fry’s, Ralphs, Dillon’s, City Market, Baker’s, and Smith’s, to name a few. You can pay your Capital One credit card bill with cash or a debit card when you bring your bill stub and account number. Payments for credit cards will be charged a fee (prices vary by location). Payments can be posted the same day or in up to three business days, depending on what payment options are available.
3. MoneyGram: Once you find a MoneyGram location near you, all you need is the account number and cash. MoneyGram has their own standalone stores. Walmart and CVS Pharmacy are the next most common locations. Be aware that in-person credit card payments using MoneyGram are cash only. There’s also a fee that varies depending on the amount paid and posting time.
4. Western Union: You will need the biller’s name and account number. Some participating Western Union locations accept debit cards in addition to cash. The most common locations for Western Union besides their own stores are Walgreens, U.S. Bank, and Kroger-owned stores.

Here are some other payment options:

• ATM: Capital One has over 70,000 fee-free ATM locations. You can find them at select Target, Walgreens, and CVS Pharmacy locations. Check online or call customer service to find additional locations. You can use the ATM to deposit cash or checks to your Capital One checking account. Then, you can use that money to pay your Capital One credit card bill online, by phone, or mobile app.
• Online: You can also make an online credit card payment by signing in to your Capital One account.
• Mobile App: You can instantly deposit checks to your Capital One checking account using your mobile phone. You can also transfer money between banks with Capital One’s online banking, but this takes a little longer. However, this can be a convenient option in the future once you link your bank accounts.
• Mail: Lastly, you can pay your Capital One credit card bill via mail. The address is:
  Capital One
  Attn: Payment Processing
  PO Box 71083
  Charlotte, NC 28272-1083

Deciding where to pay your Capital One credit card bill in person depends on how strapped you are for time. If you’re not paying your bill at a Capital One Bank location, you might also have to pay a fee. But that will certainly beat triggering a late payment fee. No matter where you choose to pay your bill, make sure to bring the proper information, identification and form of payment needed.
