How to Make Car Payment Online

Each day, thousands of people pay everything from their mortgage to their credit cards online. Online payments save consumers the cost of stamps, provide rapid transfer of funds, and allow swift credit to the consumer's account. Because most auto loan providers accept online payments, you can make your car payments from the comfort of your own home in just a few short steps.

  • Sign up for online account management with your auto loan provider. Type the provider's web address into your Internet browser and hit the enter key. Click "create account" or "register." Enter your account information as directed and establish a username and password for online access.

  • Access your account online by visiting the loan provider's website, and entering your username and password. Click on the account you wish to pay or the option entitled "pay bill."

  • Provide the source of funds for your payment. Enter a checking or savings account number and your bank's routing number. Depending on your loan provider's payment policies, you might be able to pay with a debit card linked to a bank account.

  • Enter the amount you wish to pay in the appropriate space. Select the date on which you would like the payment to occur.

  • Click "submit" or "pay" and print a copy of the payment confirmation page for your records. Log out of your account and close your web browser.
