How to Understand Your Santander Consumer USA Bill

What's Included in Your Bill

  • Current balance
  • Car payment/credit card payment/mortgage payment 
  • Amount owed
  • Minimum payment 
  • Charges made during the billing cycle
  • Past due amount
  • Available credit
  • Cash rewards

Understanding Why a Payment Doesn’t Show Up

Are you looking at your statement and you don’t see a recent payment? 

If you sent your payment in before the end of the billing cycle which are the open and close dates reflected on the statement, then it might not show up. The actual payment due date is usually two or three weeks after the billing cycle closes.

If you send the payment too soon then the company will apply it to the billing cycle when the payment was received. In order to see your payment on the statement, then you should wait to send your payment, so it is applied to the right billing cycle before the cycle closes.

However, always make sure that you pay your bill before the payment due date so it is not late, or you will incur late charges which will be reflected in your next statement.

Setting Up Online Bill Pay

Online bill pay is easy to set up and you’ll be able to see immediately when your Santander auto payment, credit card payment, or mortgage has posted. Santander Consumer USA bill pay online is also available. Online payments tend to take 24 hours to post or longer during holidays and weekends.

If you are mailing your Santander Consumer USA credit card, mortgage, or auto loan payment then please give it ample time to arrive since the company will report you as late and charge a late fee (which will be reflected on your statement) if you fail to get the payment to them on time.

Your Online Santander Consumer USA Account

You can receive your statement online but you will have to create a Santander Consumer USA online account.  To fill it out, you’ll need to provide personal information and your credit card details. You’ll then be asked to answer several questions which are asked for security reasons. Online bill pay is easy to set up.

You can also make auto, mortgage or credit card payments and even have email reminders sent to remind you of your next statement and bill due date. To make a Santander auto payment, credit card payment, or mortgage online payment then you can use your debit/ATM card or even your checking/savings account.
