Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to apply for an auto loan?

For pre-approval, we’ll review your credit, income, and housing costs.

Once you’ve chosen a vehicle, we’ll need details like the VIN, mileage, year, make and model, plus your insurance information. We’ll let you know if anything else is needed before closing.

How long is my approval good for?

Auto loan approvals are valid for 60 days at the approved terms. If rates drop before closing, we’ll honor the lower rate. After 60 days, we may need to pull credit again to requalify.

What factors affect my interest rate?

Your rate is based on the vehicle (year), loan term, credit score, and credit history.

What is the minimum loan amount?

Minimum loan amounts vary by term and typically increase with longer terms. Contact us for details.

Do you offer loans for commercial vehicles?

No, we don’t offer commercial vehicle loans. The vehicle must be titled and registered in the buyer’s name to qualify.

Do you offer auto loans for first-time buyers?

Yes! Approvals are based on your overall profile. First-time buyers may need a down payment or a qualified co-borrower.

Do you process the title and registration?

For dealer purchases, the dealer handles title and registration.

For private sales, we handle it for you and provide a 90-day temporary permit while your permanent registration is processed.

Do you offer a car buying service?

We don’t act as a car buying service, but we do have a list of preferred dealers our members trust. We’re also happy to answer questions and help simplify the process.
