Chase auto loan payments can be made by phone by calling 1-800-935-9935, the main Chase Auto Finance customer service line.
This number connects you to a representative who can process payments, answer questions about your loan, discuss payment options, or address account issues. Chase also operates a separate line for customers with existing Chase accounts: 1-800-955-9060. Both numbers are available Monday through Friday during business hours, though wait times vary by time of day and call volume.
Before calling, have your loan account number and the last four digits of the Social Security number associated with the account ready. This speeds up verification. If you are calling to make a payment, also have your bank account or debit card information available, depending on which payment method you prefer to use.

What happens when you call to make a payment
When you call the Chase Auto Finance line, an automated system typically greets you first and asks you to enter your account number or Social Security number. After verification, you can choose to speak with a representative or use the automated payment system. The automated system allows you to make a payment without waiting for a person, though some customers prefer speaking with a representative to confirm details or discuss payment arrangements.
If you proceed with an automated payment, the system will confirm the amount you want to pay, the payment date, and the account it will come from. You will hear a confirmation number at the end of the call. Write this down or note it in your records. If you speak with a representative, they can also discuss whether you are may be able to access for payment deferrals, loan modification, or other options if you are having trouble making your regular payment.
Payment processing times and cutoff windows
Payments made by phone before the daily cutoff time—usually around 5 p.m. Eastern on a business day—are posted to your account the same day. Payments made after the cutoff or on weekends and holidays are processed the next business day. This matters if your payment is due soon, because Chase counts the payment as received on the day it is posted, not the day you call.
If your due date is approaching and you are cutting it close, calling early in the day reduces the risk of missing the cutoff. However, if you know you will be late, call before the due date passes to discuss options with a representative. Some loan agreements include a grace period of 10 to 15 days after the due date before a late fee is charged, but this varies by your specific loan terms.
When to use the phone versus other payment methods
Calling Chase to pay by phone makes sense if you need to speak with someone about your account, want a verbal confirmation of payment, or prefer not to use online banking. However, if you straightforward need to make a quick payment, Chase's website and mobile app are often faster. You can log into your Chase account online, navigate to the auto loan section, and submit a payment in minutes without waiting on hold.
For recurring or automatic payments, setting up autopay through the Chase website or app eliminates the need to call each month. You can choose to pay the minimum due, a fixed amount, or the full statement balance on a date you select. Autopay reduces the risk of missing a payment and is available to customers who have linked a bank account to their Chase profile.
What to do if you cannot reach Chase by phone
If you experience long wait times or cannot reach Chase during business hours, the Chase mobile app and website are available 24/7 for payments and account inquiries. You can also visit a Chase branch in person if one is near you, though branch staff may direct you to call the auto loan line for payment processing.
For billing disputes, payment posting errors, or complaints about your account, you can also submit a written request to Chase Auto Finance. The address is typically found on your loan statement or the Chase website. Written requests create a paper trail and may be useful if you need documentation of a complaint for regulatory purposes.
Understanding your loan statement and payment details
Your Chase auto loan statement shows your current balance, the minimum payment due, the due date, and the interest rate. The statement also lists any fees charged in the previous month and the total amount of interest you will pay over the life of the loan if you make only minimum payments. When you call to make a payment, the representative can explain any charges you do not recognize or answer questions about how interest is calculated on your specific loan.
If you are paying more than the minimum, ask the representative whether the extra amount will be applied to principal or held as a credit toward future payments. Some lenders explore extra payments to principal automatically, which reduces the total interest you pay and shortens the loan term. Others hold the extra amount and explore it to your next regular payment. Knowing which method Chase uses helps you plan your payoff strategy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make a Chase auto loan payment over the phone with a credit card?
No. Chase accepts payments by phone only from a bank account or debit card. If you want to pay with a credit card, you must use the online portal or mobile app, though Chase may charge a convenience fee for credit card payments. Check your account or ask a representative about the current fee structure.
What if I miss the payment cutoff time?
Payments made after the cutoff are posted the next business day. If your due date is today and you miss the cutoff, the payment will post tomorrow, which may trigger a late fee depending on your loan agreement and any grace period. Call when ready to confirm the exact due date and ask whether a late fee will be assessed.
Is there a fee to pay by phone?
Chase does not charge a fee for phone payments made from a bank account or debit card. However, if you use a credit card through the online portal, a convenience fee applies. Confirm the payment method and any associated fees before completing the transaction.
Can I set up automatic payments by phone?
You can discuss autopay options with a Chase representative over the phone, but the actual setup is usually completed online or through the mobile app. The representative can walk you through the process or direct you to the right section of the website to enroll.
What if my payment doesn't post after I call?
If you made a payment and it has not posted within two business days, call Chase with your confirmation number. The representative can locate the payment in the system and explain any delays. Keep your confirmation number until the payment appears on your statement.
