Making Payments on Your Card
You have several options to pay your credit card bill:
- Online Transfer — Transfer money from another account to your credit card. Your payment will be credited immediately, and your balance and available credit will be updated. You may also conduct transfers at a branch.
- Online Bill Pay — You can use Online Bill Payment to pay your credit card bill! It takes 2 business days to credit your account and update the balance. For convenience in paying and tracking all your bills, you can set up JHFCU as a Payee. Use your 9-digit JHFCU account number (not the 16-digit card number) and JHFCU's main address: 2027 E Monument St, Baltimore, MD 21205.
- Telebranch 24 — You can use our 24/7 automated phone system to transfer money from a JHFCU account to your credit card balance.
- Check — You may use a check to pay your credit balance sent through the mail or brought in person to a branch.
Credit Card Security
For transaction disputes, your first step is contacting the merchant directly. They can often resolve issues faster by reversing incorrect charges. If the problem persists, you can contact JHFCU, and we'll assist you in filing a claim through Visa. Keep in mind, this process may take up to 120 days.
If you discovered fraudulent or suspicious transactions associated with your credit card, please contact us at 410-534-4500 or 1-800-543-2870 as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
