Frequently asked questions

Why are credit union auto loans cheaper?

As not-for-profit cooperatives, credit unions price loans to serve members rather than maximize profit, so their auto APRs are routinely lower than banks and dealers.

Can I get pre-approved before buying?

Yes. Getting pre-approved by a credit union gives you a firm rate and negotiating power at the dealership. Most let you apply online in minutes.
