The Macy's Credit Card reports to the credit bureaus monthly, within days after the end of a cardholder’s monthly billing period. Macy's Credit Card reports the card’s credit limit, account balance, payment history, and more to all three of the major credit bureaus: TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian. Department Stores National Bank may use a specific credit bureau more than another, depending on the applicant’s home state, and other factors.

In order to report to the credit bureaus, a business must first qualify as a data furnisher. Depending on the credit bureau, the business may need a minimum number of customer accounts in order to achieve data furnisher status.
