  • Mail your payment in U.S. dollars payable to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. Mailed payments must be in the form of a personal check, cashier’s check or money order, capable of being processed through the Federal Reserve System. Please send your payment remittance coupon that is attached to your monthly statement.

How does Wells Fargo calculate my monthly payment?

Your regular monthly payment of principal and interest will remain the same for the life of the loan. Your payment amount will be determined by the amount you borrow, the length of time or term of the loan, and the interest rate. Please note that any fees or other changes assessed to the account during the billing cycle, plus any past due amount from the previous statement, will be added to your monthly payment and shown as the total amount due. 

For new loans, you can estimate rate and payment amounts with our rate checker with no impact to your credit score.

How often will payments be due?

Loan payments will be due monthly.

Can I change my due date?

Yes. You can change your payment due date. To do so, please call customer service at 1-877-269-6056.

Can I make extra payments or pay off my Personal Loan early?

Yes. Our personal loans require no prepayment penalty. You are welcome to pay off the loan at any time or pay more than the amount due. Any payment made greater than the amount due will be applied first to any outstanding interest or fees and then to your principal balance. This can reduce the overall interest you pay over the term of the loan.

How do I request relief for my time in military service?
