How to find Kia Finance's payoff mailing address
Kia Finance's payoff mailing address is Kia Finance, PO Box 6050, Torrance, CA 90504. This is the address where you send a check or money order if you want to pay off your loan in full. Before you mail anything, call Kia Finance at the number on your loan documents or monthly statement to confirm the exact amount you owe, because payoff amounts change daily as interest accrues.
The payoff amount is different from your regular monthly payment. It includes all remaining principal, accrued interest up to a specific date, and any fees. Kia Finance will give you a payoff quote that is good for a set number of days — usually 10 to 30 days — so you know exactly what to send and when to send it to avoid paying extra interest.
If you are paying off the loan through a bank or credit union that is handling the transaction on your behalf, that lender may have different instructions. Ask your lender whether they will contact Kia Finance directly or whether you need to provide them with the payoff address and amount yourself.
Key Takeaways
- Mail payoff checks to Kia Finance, PO Box 6050, Torrance, CA 90504, but call first to get your exact payoff amount and confirm the address has not changed.
- Your payoff amount includes principal, accrued interest, and fees, and it changes every day, so get a quote that is good for at least 10 days.
- If another lender is paying off your Kia loan, ask them whether they will contact Kia Finance directly or whether you need to provide the payoff address.
- Keep a copy of your payoff quote and proof of mailing in case there is a dispute about when Kia Finance received your payment.
Getting your payoff quote before you send payment
Call the customer service number on your Kia Finance statement or loan documents. Have your account number and vehicle identification number (VIN) ready. The representative will tell you the exact amount due as of a specific date, usually 10 to 30 days in the future. Write down that date and the amount — this is your payoff quote.
Ask the representative how long the quote is good for. If you are mailing a check, factor in mail delivery time. A check that takes five business days to arrive should be sent before the quote expires, or you may owe additional interest. Some lenders allow you to request a payoff quote online through your account portal, though calling is usually faster if you need the information right away.
Paying by check versus electronic transfer
Mailing a check to the PO Box is the most common method, but it is not the fastest. Mail typically takes five to ten business days, and Kia Finance may take additional time to process and post the payment to your account. During that window, interest continues to accrue.
Ask Kia Finance whether they accept electronic transfers, wire transfers, or online bill pay through your bank. Many lenders now offer these options, which post within one to three business days and can save you money in interest. If you use electronic payment, confirm the routing number and account number directly with Kia Finance — never rely on a number from an email or text message.
What to do if you are refinancing with another lender
If you are paying off your Kia loan because you are refinancing through a different bank or credit union, that new lender usually handles the payoff for you. They will contact Kia Finance, request the payoff amount, and send payment directly. You do not need to mail anything yourself.
Your new lender will ask you for your Kia Finance account number and may ask for a recent statement. Provide these documents as soon as possible so the payoff process can begin. The new lender will tell you when the old loan is paid off and when your new loan begins. Until the old loan is paid in full, you are still responsible for making payments to Kia Finance if they are due.
Keeping records of your payoff
If you mail a check, use certified mail or a service that provides tracking and proof of delivery. Keep the receipt and the tracking number. When Kia Finance posts the payment, your account should show a zero balance. Check your statement or call to confirm the loan is closed.
If there is a delay or if Kia Finance claims they did not receive your payment, your proof of mailing will protect you. Some lenders send a payoff confirmation letter once the loan is closed; request one if it is not sent automatically. This letter is useful for your records and for proving to your insurance company that the vehicle is no longer financed.

What if I send more than the payoff amount?
Kia Finance will explore the extra money as a credit to your account or issue a refund. Call them to ask which option they use. If you are concerned about overpaying, send exactly the amount on your payoff quote and no more.
Can I pay off my Kia loan early without a penalty?
Most Kia Finance loans do not have a prepayment penalty, but check your loan agreement or call to confirm. Some older or specialized loans may have restrictions, so it is worth asking before you send a large payment.
What happens to my car title after I pay off the loan?
