5. Mail a Payment
- You can mail a check or money order to the payment address shown on your monthly billing statement; Santander instructions emphasize checking your statement for the correct P.O. Box and remit details.
- Write your Santander account number on the check and mail early enough to arrive on or before the due date.
Important Tips
- Have your account number ready: Usually a 9–10 digit number listed on your contract and statements is required for online, phone, and third‑party payments.
- Due dates and grace: Santander expects payment by the due date; while major delinquencies are often reported after about 30 days past due, late fees and extra interest can accrue earlier, so pay on time whenever possible.
- Paying off early: You can make additional principal payments or request a payoff quote via MyAccount or by calling 888‑222‑4227.
