How to Pay Your Kia Bill Online or by Mail
Where to send your Kia payment
Kia Finance, the captive finance arm of Kia Motors, handles most Kia vehicle loans. If you financed your Kia through them, your bill comes from Kia Finance, not from Kia dealerships. You can pay through their online portal, by phone, by mail, or in person at a dealership — but the fastest and most reliable method is their website or mobile app.
If you financed through a bank or credit union instead of Kia Finance, send your payment to that lender, not to Kia. Check your loan documents or your first bill to confirm who holds your loan.

Paying online through Kia Finance
Go to the Kia Finance website and log into your account.

Once logged in, select "Make a Payment" and choose your payment method: bank account (ACH transfer) or debit card.
Bank account transfers are free and typically post within one to two business days. Debit card payments may carry a processing fee of $1 to $3, depending on the card type. Enter the amount you want to pay, confirm the date, and submit. You will receive a confirmation number when ready — save this for your records.
The Kia Finance mobile app offers the same payment options and is available on iOS and Android. read it, log in with the same credentials as the website, and follow the same steps.
Paying by phone or mail
To pay by phone, call Kia Finance at 1-888-254-2927. Have your loan number and payment method ready. A representative will process your payment over the phone. Phone payments typically post within one to two business days, the same as online transfers.
To pay by mail, write a check or money order payable to Kia Finance and mail it to the address printed on your bill. Do not send cash. Include your loan number on the check memo line so the payment reaches the correct account. Mail payments take five to seven business days to post, so send them at least a week before your due date to avoid a late fee.
Setting up automatic payments
Automatic payments remove the risk of forgetting your due date. Log into your Kia Finance account online, navigate to "Manage Automatic Payments," and select the amount you want to pay each month (minimum payment, full balance, or a custom amount). Choose whether you want the payment to come from your bank account or debit card, and pick the day of the month you prefer.
You can change or stop automatic payments anytime through your account. If you set up automatic payments for your full balance each month, your account will show a zero balance after each payment posts. If you set up a fixed amount (like your minimum payment), you will still need to pay any remaining balance manually or adjust your automatic payment amount.
Understanding your payment due date and late fees
Your payment due date is listed on your monthly bill and in your online account. Kia Finance typically gives you at least 21 days from the statement date to pay. If you miss the due date, a late fee applies — usually $10 to $25, depending on the terms of your loan agreement. Check your loan documents for the exact late fee amount.
If you are more than 30 days late, the late payment may be reported to credit bureaus and can damage your credit score. If you know you will miss a payment, contact Kia Finance before the due date to discuss options. They may be able to defer a payment or adjust your due date in some cases.
What to do if you cannot find your account number
Your loan number appears on your monthly bill, in the top right corner or near the payment instructions. If you do not have a recent bill, call Kia Finance at 1-888-254-2927 with your name, date of birth, and the vehicle identification number (VIN) of your Kia. A representative can look up your account and provide your loan number.
You can also find your VIN on your vehicle registration, insurance card, or the dashboard on the driver's side of the windshield. Having this information ready when you call will speed up the process.
