After You Sign
Understanding Your Ford Credit Billing Statement
Maybe you already get statements for a cell phone, cable bill or credit card. Your Ford Credit billing statement works the same way by showing payments received, the next payment amount due, and the due date. As an extra benefit to financing with Ford Credit, your statement may include offers for oil changes, service visits and even your next new vehicle.
Paper or paperless
Your first billing statement will be paper, mailed, and arrive approximately 15 – 20 days before the first payment is due. Future billing statements will continue to be paper unless you access Account Manager and set an online preference to go paperless.
