Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Wells Fargo checking account to access my auto loan online?
No. You can create an online account for your auto loan even if you do not have a Wells Fargo bank account. You will still need to verify your identity during enrollment, but your auto loan account will be separate from any banking accounts.
Can I make a payment before my due date?
Yes. You can make a payment any time through your online account or mobile app. Paying early reduces the amount of interest you owe over the life of the loan, though your regular monthly payment will still be due on its scheduled date unless you change your payment plan.
What if I want to pay off my loan early?
You can make extra payments or a lump-sum payment toward your principal at any time through your online account. Contact Wells Fargo customer service to confirm there are no prepayment penalties on your specific loan, though most auto loans do not have them.
How do I update my contact information?
You can update your phone number and email address in your online account settings. Go to "Profile" or "Account Settings" and look for contact information. If you need to change your mailing address, you may need to call customer service, as some address changes require verification.
