Payments are first applied to accrued interest. Then we apply the rest toward your principal or any outstanding charges/fees based on the status of your account.

Any amount paid over your current amount due will be applied to future payments. If all applicable interest, fees and late charges have been paid, the remaining funds will be applied to your principal balance. Each payment, regardless of the amount, is automatically applied this way.

You can view a payment breakdown in the Transaction Details section of your monthly billing statement.

Yes, you’re responsible for any applicable tolls, tickets, property tax or fees assessed during your lease agreement. The initial bill will be sent to us. Setting up a toll tag (an electronic payment method that automatically pays for tolls as you drive through them, such as E-ZPass) is an easy way to avoid additional issues or late fees.

For property taxes, we'll add the charge to your monthly billing statement and mail you a letter to notify you of this charge. Property tax bills can still be received up to 18 months after your lease has ended.

For tolls and tickets, we’ll email and/or mail you a letter about how to pay the tolling authority directly, as we don’t collect amounts owed to these authorities. You’ll only see charges on your account if you don’t pay the billing authorities by the stated due date.

GM Financial has a lease assumption program that helps facilitate lease transfers. Lease assumptions must meet the following requirements:

• Vehicle must be registered/titled in the same state as the Assuming Lessee(s)
  • Note: Assuming Lessee(s) must have a driver's license issued in the same state where the vehicle is registered. Permits or state IDs are not accepted.
• For new leases, lien must be perfected
• Lease must be 6 months or more from maturity
• Assuming lessee must meet all of GM Financial’s underwriting and credit guidelines
• The account is current on payments and must remain current through the lease-assumption process
• If a lease is contracted under multiple parties, the lease can be assumed by new lessees as long as all parties agree and sign third-party authorization forms and the new contract

For more information, you can either call or message us by logging in to MyAccount. You can also text* LEASE to 53721.

The standards for wear are listed in your lease agreement. Any wear to the vehicle that is not excessive is considered normal. Examples of excess wear include, but are not limited to, missing or broken parts, dented or damaged body panels, and cracked or broken glass. Additionally, an end-of-lease guide will be mailed to you with lots of helpful information regarding excess wear.

The best way to find out what excess wear charges you might be responsible for is to schedule a complimentary pre-return inspection. You can schedule this inspection to take place at home, at work or at your dealership. To schedule this inspection, contact us through MyAccount, text* LEASEEND to 53721 or call 1-800-284-2271.

A flat-rate fee, outlined in the lease agreement, charged to GM Financial lessees after returning their vehicle. The disposition fee covers the cost of preparing the vehicle for resale.  

Your disposition fee may be waived if you buy or lease another new GM vehicle; see the lease agreement for details. If you exercise the purchase option in the lease agreement, the disposition fee will not be charged.

If you choose to purchase your vehicle, check your contract’s purchase option for more specific details.

Customers located in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Kansas, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Vermont can’t purchase their vehicles directly from GM Financial. Residents of these states will need to visit a GM dealership to purchase

If your vehicle has a recall, you can take it to your GM dealership and the recall will be fixed at no charge to you.

However, if you turn your vehicle in early due to a recall, your lease will be processed as an early termination, and your lease-end liability invoice will be calculated per your lease agreement.

Personalized license plates, or vanity plates, allow you to choose a specific letter/number combination that’s special to you. Transferring your personalized plate to a new vehicle lets that unique sentiment stick around for your next journey.

If you’d like to keep your personalized plate, you can visit our personal plate page to download and fill out the request form. Once the form is completed, you’ll send it by either email or fax to the Personal Plate Department, and when it’s received, we’ll reach out with further instructions. You can learn more about this on your local Secretary of State or DMV website.

• Whenever available, use multi-factor authentication to provide extra security when you log in to your accounts.
• Use a secure, private Wi-Fi connection when accessing personal information. Update your phone and internet browsers regularly.
• Never give out info like bank account numbers, credit card info, date of birth, SSN or any other confidential information through email. GM Financial will never ask you for your password or one-time MyAccount authentication code by phone, text or email.

If you find that someone accessed your GM Financial account without your permission or have questions about your account security, please contact us immediately.

If you think you are a victim of identity theft, you may request an investigation through the process outlined below.

• A completed Investigation Request Form and copy of your ID Theft Report, such as a police report, that has already been filed with a federal, state or local law enforcement agency is required to process a claim of identity theft. A completed ID Theft Affidavit and a copy of your driver’s license or government-issued ID are not required (though they may be requested) but will assist in expediting the claim.
• Mail documents to:
  GM Financial
  Attn: Central Fraud Department
  801 Cherry Street, Ste. 3500
  Fort Worth, TX 76102
• We’ll begin the investigation once we receive the required documents.
• We’ll notify you of our findings by mail. If we can establish your true identity and determine the claim as valid, we’ll report to the credit bureau agencies that the GM Financial account should be deleted from your credit file. If we can’t establish your true identity, or, in good faith, determine the claim is invalid, the GM Financial account won’t be deleted from your credit file

If you have questions or concerns about your identity theft claim, email the Central Fraud department at creditfraud@gmfinancial.com. Include your name, phone number, account number, if applicable, and a description of your question or concern.

When you file a petition for bankruptcy, federal law prohibits GM Financial from attempting to collect on an account that existed at the time of filing, absent permission from the Bankruptcy Court. GM Financial will place your account in bankruptcy status. All statements will cease as we are not permitted to send billing statements to customers involved in an active bankruptcy case. Automatic or recurring payments on the account will also cease.

If you have filed for bankruptcy and would like to surrender your vehicle, please call 1-877-203-5538. You will need your account number and your bankruptcy case number.

A Reaffirmation Agreement is an agreement between a creditor and debtor(s) who has filed bankruptcy stating that the debtor(s) will honor the terms of the initial contract initiated with the creditor.

You are not required to sign a Reaffirmation Agreement. However, by executing a Reaffirmation Agreement with GM Financial, you will resume receiving monthly statements on your account, be able to access your account via our website, make payments via that website and be eligible for deferments on your account, once your case has been discharged.

Not all services are available to customers who have been discharged in a bankruptcy case but not reaffirmed their debt with GM Financial. If you wish to reaffirm your debt with GM Financial, a Reaffirmation Agreement must be signed – by you, your attorney and GM Financial – and filed in a timely manner with the Bankruptcy Court. If you are not represented by bankruptcy counsel, the Bankruptcy Court must approve the Reaffirmation Agreement before it is a valid, binding agreement. It is your responsibility to obtain such approval.

GM Financial urges you to discuss your obligations as a debtor in bankruptcy with your bankruptcy attorney. Account terms are not modified in a Reaffirmation Agreement with GM Financial.

Upon the entry of a discharge order in a Chapter 12 or 13 bankruptcy case, GM Financial is prohibited from making collection efforts on any debt that was discharged. Depending on the GM Financial arrangements made under the plan of reorganization approved by the bankruptcy court, GM Financial may be required to release its security interest upon the entry of the discharge. Or, its security interest in the collateral on the account remains and GM Financial retains its state law and contractual rights to protect such interest. You should discuss these alternatives with your bankruptcy attorney.

Customers in bankruptcy will not receive monthly statements, but you do have the option to pay online by logging in to gmfinancial.com/MyAccount or the GM Financial Mobile app for Android and iOS. You also have the option to pay by phone, pay with cash, or mail in a check or money order. If your account is in a repossession status, you will not be able to pay online.

Please note that GM Financial is not attempting to collect a debt by allowing access to these options.

Any overage on an account is automatically refunded to the customer within 60 days following date of payoff. To verify an overage on a paid-off account, please log in to gmfinancial.com/MyAccount and message our Customer Experience team. You can also call us.

Your account balance may differ from your payoff balance due to interest charges, fees and other items that may be credited or debited to your account.

Lease customers may have an outstanding balance for all contractual obligations, such as late fees, excessive mileage or excessive wear.

You can find payoff details by logging in to gmfinancial.com/MyAccount or the GM Financial Mobile app for Android and iOS. You can also call us.

Any overage or extra payments on an account should be refunded within 30 days. See how to request a payoff quote.

Depending on your state, your title or lien release documents typically arrive within 30 days of paying your account in full (or earlier, as required by state law).

To release titles on lease accounts, we require filled out and signed Lease Purchase Documents, including the odometer statement and damage disclosure acknowledgment (depending on state law). These can be found in the GM Financial Document Center, along with instructions for returning the paperwork.

Both a co-buyer and a guarantor sign a contract that says they will assume financial responsibility if the business is unable to pay. However, a co-buyer's name will be listed on the contract and the title, while a guarantor's will not. Debt will also be recorded on the co-buyer's personal credit, but not on the guarantor's.

The best way to start is to apply to prequalify, and you can fill out an online application. Prequalification helps determine if you’re likely to qualify for financing. It isn’t the same as an approval, but it’s the first step in the process.

After prequalification, you can submit a credit application through a GM dealership. If you choose not to apply to prequalify, you can still submit an application through a Chevrolet, Buick, GMC or Cadillac dealer.

If you’re not prequalified, you can follow up with the dealer selected in your application for assistance with your vehicle shopping and financing needs.

The balloon payment option can be selected when purchasing certain EVs and allows customers to make smaller monthly payments over the life of the contract and then pay a large lump sum at the end. Please note that state exceptions may apply.

Generally, there are three things you can do at the end of your contract if it includes the balloon option. Please reference your contract addendum, as some state exceptions may apply:

• Purchase the vehicle: Requires you to make the balloon payment and pay any remaining balance on your account, which will pay off the vehicle.
• Refinance the vehicle: Allows you to refinance the remaining balloon amount.
• Sell the vehicle back to GM Financial: Does not require payment of the balloon amount. However, you must notify us 30 days in advance if you choose this option.

If your contract includes a balloon payment option and you choose to purchase your vehicle or refinance the amount of the balloon payment, you’ll need to pay your balance. If you choose to sell the vehicle back to us on the scheduled due date of the balloon payment, you’ll need to pay any part of the contract balance that remains unpaid after we subtract the option sales price. Please refer to your contract addendum to confirm the option sales price.

Although terms vary between contracts, your first payment will generally be due 30 days from the date your contract is executed, and you will receive a billing statement approximately 14 days before your due date.

If you're experiencing postal delays, you're not alone. Digital statements are often available several days before a paper statement can be delivered to your address due to reported postal delays. You can log in to MyAccount online or through the GM Financial Mobile app to view your statements, message us and make payments.

If you feel you should have received your statement and haven’t, you can sign up for MyAccount or log in anytime to view your statements online. Or, you can enroll in paperless billing to receive statement notifications via email. If you need to find out your due date or the amount owed, please message us in MyAccount or call us.

Only individuals on the contract can be added to the title. Retail customers can contact their state’s motor vehicle agency about adding or removing someone from the title.

If you moved to a new state, you may need to update your information and register your vehicle in your new location. To learn more, check out our Out-of-State Registration form. Since each state has different procedures, we recommend you visit your state’s motor vehicle agency website for additional information.

There are three states that require permission from the lienholder to re-register: Arizona, New York and West Virginia. For customers in those states, please fill out our Relocation Request form. 

Congratulations! After you’ve completed your contract agreement and paid off your vehicle, we’ll send the title or lien release to you within 30 days of your final payment clearing, depending on payment method and applicable state laws.

IMPORTANT: Make sure your address is correct or updated prior to making your final payment for the title release. Otherwise, your title may be sent to the wrong address. You can either log in to MyAccount to update your address or contact us.

We can release our lien directly with the state if it has an electronic title system. For more information on the electronic lien and titling process, please contact your state’s motor vehicle agency directly. If you’re in an electronic lien release state, we’ll notify you by mail. Depending on state laws, electronic titles and/or liens are released to the state’s agency about 10 business days after an account is paid in full. However, there may be additional processing time before receiving your vehicle title.

If it's been more than 30 days and you still haven't received your title, and we didn’t notify you that you’re in an electronic lien release state, you can order a duplicate title and/or lien release. Submit a request by going to getmycartitle.com/gmfinancial and following the steps. Fees may apply. For step-by-step directions, download our “Let’s Talk Titles” fact sheet.

To release titles on lease accounts, we require you to fill out our Lease Purchase Documents, including the odometer statement and damage disclosure acknowledgment (depending on state law). These can be found in our Document Center along with instructions for returning the paperwork.

If you’re a lease customer and you recently purchased your lease, you’re requesting a duplicate title. You can submit a request by going to getmycartitle.com/gmfinancial and following the steps. Fees may apply. For step-by-step directions, download our “Let’s Talk Titles” fact sheet.

It’s best to contact your insurance company and ask when they will send the check to GM Financial. Once GM Financial receives the insurance check, it can take three to five business days to process.

Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) may help pay off your vehicle financing if your vehicle is totaled and your insurance pays less than what you owe.

Insurance companies declare a vehicle a total loss when damages cost more than its cash value, meaning it’d cost more to repair the vehicle than it’s worth. A vehicle may also be deemed a total loss if it’s stolen and not recovered. After a total loss, the insurance company will pay what they determine the vehicle is worth.

GAP coverage is an ancillary product that could pay a portion up to the remainder of the balance owed, but it may not cover additional charges added to the account such as late fees or property tax. GAP coverage is optional and not required to obtain financing.

Total Loss: If there is an overage on the account after the insurance check is applied, a refund will be released within 15 business days.

Insurance Repair: Once the repairs deemed by the insurance company are completed and the required documents have been received and verified, a refund will be processed in three business days. The funds will be sent to the body shop repairing the vehicle unless proof that the repair bill has been paid is received by GM Financial.

To request a cancellation quote or to cancel an eligible product that was financed through GM Financial, please contact your originating dealership or the product’s program administrator to begin the process. If your product brand is listed below, the applicable program administrator’s contact information is provided for your reference.

If you have been affected by a natural disaster or other financial hardships, please contact us by sending a message in MyAccount online or in the GM Financial Mobile app, texting INFO to 53721, or calling us to discuss your options.

No. But there are perks to being a GM Financial customer, such as working with a trusted global leader in finance and our friendly customer service team.

Completing the application takes very little time. We sometimes need a few documents from you that you’ll be able to securely upload online. 

At this time, we’re only accepting applications for a single applicant.

Prequalification is not a final determination of credit. We will make a decision after you have completed the GM Financial credit application. If your credit application for financing is approved, we will provide the exact terms of your loan, including rate, term, monthly payment and total amount financed.

That’s super easy. You’ll get an email from DocuSign with your loan contract that you’ll sign electronically. You’ll have the opportunity to download a copy of your signed contract.

GM Financial will take care of sending the funds directly to Ultium Home for your product(s) and to the installation provider, if applicable. You don’t have to worry about funds being sent to you; we do all the work.

If your credit application is approved and you complete your loan contract, you’ll get a welcome letter in the mail with all the information you need, including your account number, first payment due date and how to manage your account online. Generally, the first payment is due 30 days after the loan is funded.
