American Honda Finance's customer service phone number is 1-800-695-1010
That number connects you to representatives who handle loan payments, account questions, and billing issues. The line is available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Pacific Time. If you call outside those hours, you can leave a message or use their automated system to make a payment.
Before you call, have your loan account number ready — you'll find it on your monthly statement or in any correspondence from American Honda Finance. If you're calling about a specific payment or account change, having your vehicle identification number (VIN) on hand will speed things up.

What you can handle on the automated system
American Honda Finance's automated phone system lets you make a payment, check your account balance, and hear your next payment due date without speaking to anyone. This works 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You'll need your account number and a touch-tone phone to use it.
The automated system can also tell you your payoff amount — the total you'd owe if you paid off the loan in full today. This number changes slightly each day because of interest, so if you're planning to pay off early, ask for the payoff amount valid for a specific date.
When to call versus other contact methods
Call the main line if you need to discuss a missed payment, request a payment extension, change your payment due date, or report a problem with your account. These conversations require a person who can review your specific situation and make notes in your file.
For routine questions — balance, next payment date, payoff amount — the automated system is faster and doesn't require you to wait on hold. If you prefer written communication, check your monthly statement for a mailing address where you can send questions or payment disputes.
What happens if you can't reach them
If the main line is busy or you reach a full voicemail box, try calling back during a different time of day. Peak call times are usually mid-morning and early afternoon. Calling first thing when the line opens at 8 a.m. Pacific Time or near the end of the business day often means shorter waits.
If you have an urgent issue — such as a payment that didn't post correctly or a billing error — ask the automated system to transfer you to a representative, or leave a detailed message with your account number and the best time to reach you. Representatives typically return calls within one business day.
Payment methods beyond the phone
You don't have to call to make a payment. American Honda Finance accepts payments online through their website, by mail, or through automatic bank transfers (ACH). Setting up automatic payments means you won't have to remember to call or mail a check each month.
If you're making a one-time payment by phone, the automated system will confirm the amount and tell you when it will post to your account. Payments made before 5 p.m. Pacific Time typically post the same business day.
Preparing for a conversation about payment trouble
If you're calling because you've missed a payment or can't pay on time, have information ready about your situation: when you expect to be able to pay, whether this is a one-time problem or ongoing, and what amount you can pay now if you can't pay the full amount due. Representatives can discuss options like a payment plan or temporary adjustment, but they need to understand your circumstances first.
American Honda Finance is required to work with borrowers who are having trouble, but the conversation goes faster if you call before you're significantly behind rather than after. If you're already past due, the representative will explain what late fees have been added and what your options are to bring the account current.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to call during business hours to make a payment?
No. The automated system works 24/7, so you can make a payment anytime. You only need to call during business hours (Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–6 p.m. Pacific) if you need to speak with a representative about your account.
What if I'm calling from outside the United States?
The 1-800 number works from Canada and some other countries, but you may incur international calling charges depending on your phone plan. Check your loan documents to see if there's an alternative number for international callers, or use their online account portal if available.
Can I set up a payment plan if I'm behind on payments?
You'll need to speak with a representative to discuss options. Call during business hours and explain your situation. Representatives can sometimes arrange a modified payment schedule, but the specifics depend on how far behind you are and your account history.
What information do I need to have ready when I call?
Have your loan account number (on your statement), your vehicle identification number (VIN), and the phone number associated with your account. If you're calling about a specific issue, have any related documents nearby so you can reference them during the call.
How long does it take for a payment to show up after I call it in?
Payments made through the automated system before 5 p.m. Pacific Time typically post the same business day. If you call after hours or on a weekend, the payment will post on the next business day. The automated system will tell you the expected posting date when you complete the payment.
