Auto loan FAQ

Being enrolled in autopay with U.S. Bank means you’ve given permission for us to transfer funds for your loan payment on a recurring basis, either from a U.S. Bank account or an account with another financial institution. 

To see if you’re enrolled in U.S. Bank autopay, use online banking or the U.S. Bank Mobile App to  navigate to Transfer & pay and choose Pay bills. Under the details of your auto loan, you’ll see “Autopay on” if you’ve selected the service.



If you’re enrolled in autopay through U.S. Bank, we’ll cancel that service on your behalf after your auto loan is paid in full. If you’re enrolled in autopay with a different financial institution, you’ll need to contact them directly to cancel those payments.

A title is a legal document establishing proof of ownership. For an auto loan, U.S. Bank’s lien – the legal right of a lender to sell your property if you don’t meet your contractual obligations – is placed on the title, as we lent the funds for purchase.

Depending on the state you live in, you may be holding title with our lien, U.S. Bank may be holding the title or your title may be held electronically with the state until the lien is released.

Make sure you keep your title in a safe place because you’ll need it in the future if you want to sell or trade your vehicle.

It will depend on whether the title is in electronic or paper form. Please allow seven to 10 business days for the lien release, after the vehicle loan is paid in full. In the event we didn’t receive a paper title, a notarized lien release notice is mailed to you. Take this notice to the local licensing agency and request a lien-free title.

We recommend that you visit a local licensing agency in your new state to determine what is needed for registration in the new state. We can help with updating your address on file if you call  U.S. Bank on 800-872-2657 Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. CT and Saturday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. CT. 

We're here to help you during life's hardships, when your finances might be affected as a result. Major life events include marriage, divorce, death in the family or moving to a new state. If you experience a major life event that may impact your title or account info, please call us for next steps. Phone 800-872-2657 Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. CT and Saturday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. CT for assistance.

Billing statements are available about 20 days before your payment due date. You’ll receive them in the mail or online, depending on how you set up your preferences. We recommend you check your statements thoroughly. Some points of interest include: your account summary, important messages, and the current minimum amount due.

Refer to your contract. If you need a copy of your contract, please call 800-872-2657.
