Get Your Account Ready for Summer
By Nicole Mayer / 05/02/2025 / Your Account
Picture yourself at your dream vacation destination. Or just lounging in your backyard, favorite drink in hand. Either way, imagine you’re enjoying a perfect summer afternoon.
Then, out of nowhere, it hits you: “My car payment was due three days ago!”
Your perfect summer afternoon? It’s melted away like a snow cone on a hot day.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. You can enjoy the relaxing summer you deserve, without financial worries crashing the party. All it takes are a few simple steps to “disaster-proof” your account now:
- Get the app. Wherever summer takes you, it’s smart to bring your account along for the ride. With the GM Financial Mobile app in your beach bag, you can easily check on your account if something pops into your mind.
- Ditch the paper. Mail tends to pile up in summer, especially when you go out of town. Going paperless in MyAccount prevents any mix-ups with your statements. You’ll get an email letting you know when your digital statement is available for viewing in MyAccount, so you’ll always know the latest with your account.
- Set up text messages. Get timely information, like reminders when your due date is approaching, so you can stay on top of your account. Just opt in to text messages from your MyAccount dashboard and confirm your selection, then you’ll be ready to take your account with you anywhere.
- Automate your payments. Auto Pay lets you schedule recurring payments that automatically get withdrawn from your bank account. Set up Auto Pay in your MyAccount profile settings so your payments are on time every time, and you can focus on soaking up the sun.
Get a head start on summer by making these smart moves now. It will only take about as long as putting on sunscreen, and it will serve you well year-round. For more info about managing your account, check out these frequently asked questions.
