What is GM Financial?

GM Financial is an auto financing company wholly owned by General Motors. It was formerly known as AmeriCredit until GM acquired it in 2010. GM Financial offers loans and lease agreements for vehicles from:

  • Chevrolet
  • Buick
  • Cadillac
  • GMC

GM Financial allows you to apply online for pre-qualification. Whether you’re shopping for a new or used vehicle, GM Financial can help. Its products are available in all 50 states (and Washington D.C.), as well as in global locations like Canada and Asia.

GM Financial loan options

GM Financial offers financing for vehicles at certified dealerships. Options are available for both personal and business customers.

Loan options vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle you’re financing. The company offers terms between 36 and 72 months.

Customers with excellent credit scores can possibly qualify for 0% financing. Other perks, such as cash allowances and bonus earnings, are available to qualified customers.

If you don’t have stellar credit, there are still financing options available, including special financing options for those with lower credit scores.

GM Financial rates

GM Financial’s interest rates can be as high as 19%, but they vary based on a number of factors, including your:

  • Vehicle choice
  • Credit score
  • Current income
  • Loan amount
  • Loan/lease terms

According to GM Financial’s monthly payment calculator, you can borrow between $7,500 and $125,000. This calculator also gives an idea of what to expect for a monthly payment. For example, a loan of $10,000 with a term of 36 months and a 5% APR results in a monthly payment of $510.

GM Financial does not offer a grace period for payments, so late payments are immediately subject to fees and interest. There is also a penalty for paying off your loan early.

GM Financial FAQ

Does GM finance bad credit?

Potentially. The GM Financial website doesn’t specify a minimum credit score. It does state that it looks beyond credit scores when making approval decisions, though.

Does GM Financial have an app?

Yes, GM Financial does have an app where you can access your account, make payments and find answers to your questions. The app is available for both Apple and Android devices.

Does GM Financial offer special financing?

GM Financial does offer special financing, but it doesn’t specify what’s available. To find out what you can qualify for, fill out an application to pre-qualify on the company’s website.

What credit score do you need for GM 0% financing?

GM 0% financing requires you to have an excellent credit score, likely over 800. Availability and term length for this offer vary by location and vehicle.

What bank does GM Financial use?

GM Financial offers its loans and leases in-house. Previously, the company worked with Ally and U.S. Bank, but it cut ties with those institutions in 2015.

Still have questions?

Is GM Financial good?

GM Financial is a good option if you’re looking to finance a vehicle from the General Motors family of brands. It offers loans and leases throughout the United States, and you can pre-qualify for financing online, saving you time at the dealership. That said, there are some downsides to GM Financial, like its prepayment penalties and lack of a grace period. It’s always a good idea to shop around before committing to a financing plan, but GM Financial should at least be on your list of options.

    We are another financial company who paid GM Financial for a loan on a vehicle on 4/20/26. The company sent the vehicle title and lien release letter to the wrong address and wanted us to pay for a duplicate and shipping. They ended up giving us a coupon for the dupe, but were requiring us to pay for an error they made. When I spoke to the supervisor, Steven, he was not understanding and made it clear that they did not care that we sent them almost $7000 for a vehicle, and it was our problem to figure out how to get the title. Very sad with their customer service and management in the auto loan dept. As a fellow auto loan service member, we would never treat a customer this way.

    Trying to close out my mother's auto loan after she passed away has been one of the most frustrating customer service experiences I've ever had. Every other financial institution we've dealt with during the estate process has been compassionate, responsive, and easy to work with. GM Financial has been the exact opposite. I've received different answers every time I've called, representatives have been argumentative when I've asked reasonable clarifying questions, and I still don't have a clear answer on when they'll pick up the vehicle securing the loan. Settling a loved one's estate is difficult enough without having to fight for basic information. Based on my experience, I would not choose GM Financial. There are too many other financial institutions that provide far better customer service.

      It's just unbelievable to me that there is no lead way hardly at all if a person has a financial crisis, is disabled and a senior. I bought my car through GM Financial while I had a job. They take a lot of interest monthly. Recently I lost my job, my food stamps were cut and I'm drowning in panic attacks and worry all the time. I could delay my payment for a charge of about $79 per month, up to 2 months. It all seems so ridiculous that a rich company like GM can't safeguard seniors and disabled. It feels like as long as they are making big money and thriving then no one else matters. Once I'm through with this, I will go out of my way to never use GM again. I can't return my car or trade it in for something shoddy so I can have lower payments. It's all I have for my morale and that will break my spirit even more.

      I did a lease assumption to take over lease of a 2024 Chevy Equinox EV. GM Financial essentially told me I cannot drive the vehicle for 2 months after approving the transfer. First, they don't have case-assigned representative. One rep gave me timeline that looked reasonable but each step took twice as long as I was told. Credit approval was told to be done in 7 days but it took over 2 weeks. Then Application approval after $625 fee payment was told to be done in 3-5 business days, but it took over a week & that too after I got really upset over the phone with them.

      Title was going to take 30-60 days & the Welcome package is suppose to have documents that will help me get car registration done. But now, they are saying both Title & Registration will take 30-60 days & I cannot drive the car during this time. I was not told this when I explicitly asked them about getting the car registered because no one in their right mind will ever sign the Lease Assumption document if they cannot drive the car for 2 months AFTER application approval (which takes over 3 weeks in the first place). GM Financial lied to me in the beginning of the process & it is a way to Trap Customers with their unethical means of business.

      I'm finding it hard to understand how this company doesn't care about their customers. They tell you if you facing hardship they will work with you but I found out today that was a big lie. They could care less if you having trouble. I been paying my bill on time since 2021. But since I had to take a pay cut it's been a lot harder making payments when you got other bills to pay. I have to skip paying for my medicine so I go without taking my medicine let alone buying food. I explained this to them but they might as well just told me that they don't care. I can't afford my medicine or afford food. Just go hungry & do whatever you got to do but don't stop paying your car note. I'm so disappointed I chose GM company because they really don't care how long you been a loyal customer to them. They only care about you having them payments available in your bank account.

      I am a 100% service-connected disabled veteran and recently contacted GM Financial to request a short-term payment extension due to a temporary financial hardship. I made this request proactively, before falling significantly behind, in an effort to remain in good standing and avoid default. During my communication with GM Financial, I was informed that hardship extensions are limited to active-duty service members and that no comparable accommodation exists for fully disabled veterans. To be clear, I was not requesting forgiveness or preferential treatment—only a temporary extension or alternative hardship option that would allow me to stay compliant with my loan obligations.

      What is concerning is not just the denial itself, but the apparent lack of:
      • Any discretionary review process
      • Any alternative hardship programs

      • Any escalation path for unique circumstances

      From a consumer standpoint, this raises serious concerns about how GM Financial applies hardship policies and whether those policies are reasonably structured to address real-world financial disruptions. There is a clear distinction between what is legally required under laws such as the Service Members' Civil Relief Act and what a company may choose to offer as part of its broader customer support practices. In this case, GM Financial appears to rely strictly on minimum legal requirements rather than demonstrating any meaningful flexibility for customers experiencing legitimate hardship. As someone actively trying to meet my obligations, I find the lack of accommodation and absence of a structured hardship pathway troubling. This approach increases the likelihood of unnecessary defaults rather than preventing them.

      I would strongly encourage GM Financial to:
      • Reevaluate its hardship policies to include disabled veterans and other non–active-duty individuals facing documented hardship.
      • Implement a clear escalation or review process for exceptional cases.

      • Provide transparent communication around all available options before accounts reach critical status.

      Consumers should be aware that in situations involving financial hardship, GM Financial may not offer flexibility beyond narrow policy guidelines, regardless of individual circumstances.

So far, the wrong location, and someone else's title to the titling office in Pennsylvania. The old joke was don't buy American-made because it's low quality. That part has improved, hopefully.

      Will never do business with GM Financial again. First off if you need to call customer service for any billing issue make sure you ask them to spell their names out, because I believe they are giving out fake ones. I called twice because I had reached the end of my lease arrangement and decided to be done with it and not get another gm vehicle because of their terrible reviews and insane prices and lack of quality. I returned the vehicle to the dealership, and was under the mileage agreement. I was allowed 39,000 miles with my lease, and returned it with only 33,000 miles on it.

      When I called to inquire about a refund, they asked if I rolled into another gm loan, I said no, and they said then there are no funds due for return. Absolutely ridiculous. But if I had gone over the miles I would have to pay 25 cents per mile. Such garbage. Then 2 months later I receive a notice for payment for a disposition fee. WHAT? What the hell is a disposition fee? Im a nutshell its a restocking fee for them to put it back out on the lot for resale. Yea. No, not paying that.

      I called gm financial twice, first time the lady was incredibly rude, when I asked for a supervisor she repeatedly told me there was no supervisor available and would not transfer me to one, I ended up hanging up. Called back again and their staff at this point are just trained mean little robots, this time the rep said the same thing and I hung up overwhelmingly upset and irritated. I will never go through gm financial again. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. If you do read all the fine print in your lease/loan agreements and be prepared to get screwed as a consumer. They are awful!

      I have reached the end of my car loan agreement with GM Financial, during which I have maintained perfect automatic payments for five years. With only two payments remaining, I noticed that GM Financial did not withdraw the most recent installment. After five days had passed without the usual automatic debit, I contacted the company for clarification.

      During the call, I was informed that GM Financial had stopped my auto-pay two payments before the end of the agreement and that I would now be required to make the payments manually. I advised them that I had not received any notice, correspondence, or telephone call informing me of this change. I then made the payment over the phone, and my final payment is due on February 3, 2026.

      I questioned whether this practice allows late fees and additional interest to accrue without the customer's knowledge. I also requested documentation showing where GM Financial discloses that auto-pay will be stopped two months prior to the end of the loan term. I was told that no such written documentation exists. I then asked to speak with a supervisor for further clarification, but instead of being transferred to a supervisor, I was transferred to the collections department.

      This situation is unacceptable and deeply concerning. Had I not taken the initiative to contact them, this issue would have gone unnoticed, potentially resulting in late fees, interest charges, and negative repercussions on my account. GM Financial does not extend grace periods on missed payments, and such a situation could have ultimately placed my vehicle at risk of repossession. This practice of GM Financial is appalling.

      GM Financial Services is the worst credit provider I've ever had. Their customer service agents are rude, aggressive, and disrespectful. The company lacks compassion and only cares about money. I recently lost my car in a fire accident and reached out to them to report it and let them know that I had filed an insurance claim and needed a break from payments to deal with the insurance and gap claims and the loss. However, the customer service agent was rude and inconsiderate, insisting that he didn't care about my loss and that I needed to continue making payments. They continued to report adversely to the credit bureaus.

      When my insurance company paid my claim, they did not credit my account nor notify me until I called three weeks later. The customer agent was rude, disregarded my concerns, and focused only on how I should make monthly payments, or they would continue reporting to the credit bureau and continue collection activities. I told them that I had a gap insurance claim pending and needed it resolved and the remaining balance paid, but they continue to report it adversely to the credit bureaus. Gap finally sent a check in my name on October 25, but as of December 3, they neither credited my account nor acknowledged receipt of the check until I called. They told me they did not receive the check. When my insurance company made a lump payment, it did not reduce my interest charges.

      If I could give less than 1 star I would. I had a credit score of 820 and never been late on a bill in 30 years. Leased a new car for my daughter who is away at school. Send a check every month, 2 weeks before the bill is due. In February my daughter called and said car was being towed. GM tells me we are 2 months behind. I tell them, "We send checks both months, what are you talking about?" They tell me they went paperless and can't cash the checks. Yet they never informed me of this. They said they tried to send checks back but they were returned due to a bad address. They had the correct address.

      So they make me sign up for automatic draft. I wire them $1297 immediately. They said they never received it. I wire another $1600 (why a different amount, who knows?). They receive it. Two days later they notify us, they received both wired amounts. They can't refund it though so they just keep it for future payments on top of the monthly payments. Nice racket. Get the car back and they claim it's no big deal. They aren't reporting it to the credit bureaus. Two months later, I go to buy a car. Sales guy - "How's your credit?" me - "Perfect!" 20 min later.... What happened with GM Financial? I almost blew a gasket. My credit score went from 820 to 647 from this ridiculous policy change. I disputed with all the credit bureaus and called GM many times. No one can make a decision.

      No one has the ability or the authority to do anything. They blame other agents who misspoke. They blame the Post Office. They have recorded phone calls that they will not allow me to listen to. They now lie about having my checks. They say they never received checks and the rep misspoke. This isn't a company.

      The GM Financial by far the most untrustworthy and scammy lease company I’ve ever dealt with. After returning our leased vehicle with 15,000 fewer miles than allowed, we were shocked to receive a $1,008.99 charge. We’d think returning a car in better-than-expected condition would work in our favor, especially considering the vehicle now holds greater resale value for them with fewer miles. Instead, we were slapped with a charge for a tire supposedly measuring 2/32", a highly questionable and arbitrary claim.

      When we reached out to discuss the issue, the representative we spoke with, Tera, showed no intention of resolving it reasonably. Rather than engaging in any meaningful dialogue or showing empathy, she simply issued a veiled threat to report the outstanding balance to credit bureaus, harming our credit score if the full balance wasn’t paid, despite the obvious unfairness of the charge.

      In an effort to settle things amicably, we even offered to pay $808.99 if they would reduce the charge by just $200. That too was dismissed without consideration. It’s clear that GM Financial does not care about their customers, only about squeezing every dollar they can out of the customers. The behavior suggests that their employees are more motivated by commissions than customer service. This was a truly unpleasant and frustrating experience. I strongly urge anyone considering GM Financial to look elsewhere. There are far more professional and customer-oriented lease companies out there.

When they called GM Financial the respond was that they could not help Pa Dept. Of Trans. because GM Financial computer system was down. More Excuses!

      This is the worst financial company to deal with. I am so frustrated with their customer service for being unable to help and continue telling me that the only way to get anything done is on the website. Well if the site does not answer my question I would think customer service could but did not. I will be changing companies soon and never use GM Financial ever again. Buyer beware. Try to find a better customer-focused company or you will be just as Frustrated with GM Financial.

      I am extremely frustrated with GM Financial. I’ve had nothing but issues since I started my loan with them. Despite making my monthly payment on time, as well as an extra principal payment, the extra payment did not reduce my loan balance as expected. It was applied to future payments instead, and when I contacted customer service, they didn’t provide a clear or satisfactory explanation. The customer service team was difficult to reach, and once I did get through, the answers were vague and unhelpful. This has been a frustrating experience, and I feel like I’m paying more than I should be due to mismanagement of my payments. I would not recommend GM Financial to anyone based on my experience. Their billing process and lack of transparency have left me incredibly dissatisfied.”

      Once Again GM has messed up my payment. I called in to make a payment with a live agent. She wanted me to do it online. I told her last year when I did that it took multiple payments and not just the one. Today I call in the payment. The customer support person said I could pay it online. I said I had a problem; last year doing that. She assured me it would be fine. I go into the account and make the payment for 649.88, I am familiar with the online website. I have been with GM now for a number of years and nothing but pain!! I selected the box to type in one payment of 649.88 hit pay and it took 1303.26. Tried to delete the payment within 30 seconds and says system down for maintenance, conveniently down when I try to DELETE but had NO ISSUE TAKING IT! HORRIBLE COMPANY!!

      I have been with GM Financial for over 2 years. I recently had a hail claim and the damage was repaired by my insurance company. I also had coverage on some accessories including a full matte paint protection film over the entire vehicle. They had to remove this to repair the vehicle and the insurance would only pay to replace the damaged area of the film that was removed. I was informed by the facility that performs the wrap that unfortunately they could not guarantee the clear would matte wrap would match exactly so I chose to not have it done.

      The insurance issued me a check to both GM and I as it was over their 5k limit to issue it to me directly. GM has given me the run around for months asking for various documents to release the funds including letters from insurance, quotes stating it was for a wrap only, speaking with the repair facility to verify the repairs were made and still will not release my funds. I informed them from the beginning that I would not be replacing the wrap and this was something added after the purchase. It was not part of the damaged areas that were repaired which they verified.

      Every time I spoke with someone I had to explain myself from the beginning and it took days to a week each time for them to respond. They have refused to return my funds still and applied them to my loan against my request. I have perfect credit with no late payments and I will not be using them again in the future. Their processes are a joke and response time is even worse. The customer service employees were friendly, but I didn’t feel they had the proper support. I was also told I couldn’t speak with anyone who had authority. They just had to put in a request and wait for a response. Do better GM.

      I am giving GM Financial a one-star but also Tomball Dodge Chrysler and Jeep for intentionally adding my name as a joint owner on the purchase of an OVERPRICED auto. I was told my son needed a co-signer and the finance company ONLY spoke to him about the financing details, instructions, etc. However, after taking a look a my CR, I see I am the joint owner. After some research, I found out this is the same dealership I had to file a police report on years ago because my sister used my mother's name and SS number to purchase a vehicle. My mother was unaware of this until the invoice came in her name. I called the police and several other agencies to get the car repo and my mother's name taken off and remove this from her credit report!!!!

      I’ve been financing my leased vehicle with gm for over 10 years. Never again. They reported me to all credit bureaus for not paying them the car taxes within 30 days. No warning at all - and not once have I ever paid the taxes within 30 days. Always paid them by adding extra to my car payment. Never within 30 days. And I told gm that the amount owed is incorrect and my town is adjusting the bill and they’ll receive a credit. I said once resolved If there’s money owed I will pay in full - they noted their file. I will be looking into taking further legal action to get this looked into/resolved.

      I get ripped off in interest every month. I make my payments early, and I make extra payments. If my current amount due is $353.00 and I make that payment and another payment of $385.00, GMF takes the $353.00, puts it all towards interest, and takes $32.00 from my extra payment and puts that towards interest. I make my payments early every month, and I make additional payments. Can someone tell me why they’re taking the same amount from my extra payment out of the current account due and applying it to the interest? GMF owes me quite a bit of money. When my current amount due is $277.00, and I pay that plus another payment of $400.00, why are they putting my entire $277.00 towards interest and telling me that they’re not? Why are they taking money from my extra payments, putting that towards the interest, and telling me they’re not? It’s right there on my statements.

      Literally the worst cut throat loan company for financing. I got a kia rio that I was lied to and was told 15k for financing (turned out 2 years later it was for 22k. Cool) so I paid that. It's been a struggle bus dealing with the kia as they are just bad cars. Engine went out after 104k (yes my maintenance is regularly done. Just bad engines you can google it) and I get no help from them at all.

      Due to being late they still want an additional 5600. I paid 5k in an engine and rentals. The car went out again after 22k paid. Told them to come get the car. It's a loss on me but they still want an ADDITIONAL 5600 and they are so fast to hit your credit with a repo to ruin you while trying to apologize you're going through this. Really? Your company is doing this to a veteran. I can't even get another vehicle because of them. This happened to 2 others that I know. Both cases never went to credit. Theirs are fine. It's just GM Financial that does it. Don't use them. Not worth getting ruined over.

      If I could give less than 1 star, I would. GM Financial STOLE over $750 from an insurance check I received. I took my hail damaged Silverado to MY dealership to be repaired right and sent the insurance check from MY insurance company along with the receipt of what I PAID out MY POCKET and GM Financial decided they would reimburse me, not what I paid, but their discretionary amount. Don't finance with GM Financial unless you want to get RIPPED OFF!!!!

      I was fresh out of bankruptcy when my car broke down. I went to a GM dealer who sent my loan to GM Financial. They are charging me daily interest. After 13 payments, I've paid over $12k but my balance has only $2k. I called to try to renegotiate the loan as I will never get this paid off at this point and was turned down. If you can only get financed through GM Financial, RUN, do not do it.

      On April 19th, I returned our leased Chevy Trax to the Alexandria Chevy Dealership. I explicitly asked the manager handling the task whether he could give me the license plates, upon which he said that he could not do so because it was not protocol. I asked where the license plates would be returned to (i.e, the DMV, or my mother) and he did not know. He told me to sign a paper, and that I could call GM financial to inquire about the license plates. He also said that my mother could return the keys and manual to the original dealership where we leased the car in Scarsdale, NY. Lastly, he said the final itemized bill would be sent to my email with additional details, which I never received. The manager went out to check the car, and noted no noticeable damages, I did not receive a written statement about it.

      On April 26th, my mother received a bill stating that we owed $2104.83 in excess wear and damages. Within this itemized bill, it stated that the keys and manual were not returned. The bill said we could challenge the excess wear and damages within 60 days of receiving the bill. By the first week of May, there was still no information on where the license plates were. My mother and I called GM financial, as well as both the Alexandria and Scarsdale dealership, and no one could give us an answer on this matter. In addition to this mess, they informed us that the cost of the “damages” had increased with interest, with no clear path for initiating an arbitration. After countless attempts to reach the right individual a GM financial party informed us that the car had already been sold, making arbitration impossible. In a later call, a representative said they initiated an arbitration process.

      My mother filed a police report for the license plates and reported them as lost and/or stolen, as no one from GM could tell us where they were located. My mother was able to get ahold of the manager responsible during the drop off of the car (his signature is on the final drop off) and he denied ever meeting me or working on said day. After getting no answers about the license plates or the arbitration, we demanded that GM explain the damages and why we were charged so much for a car, with little success. Several days before dropping the car, I got an oil change, and was informed that everything was good, including my tires (which is a significant aspect of the charge). GM’s only attempt to resolve the issue would end in stating that a manager would call us back - no manager ever returned the call. A promised second arbitration as they claimed seems impossible, since they stated the car was already sold to a new owner.

      We believe that the lack of transparency and the lost/stolen license plates are probable cause to pursue legal action. In the meantime we initiated a fraud report with the attorney general on July 1 and are still waiting for a response. And in addition, I receive notes from my bank that my credit score dropped due to this unpaid bill.

      There are defects on all GM models 2015 to current year. The air compressor will go out first then the transmission after so many miles the warranty goes out right when the problems starts and GM won't help pay for any repairs or replacement.
