When you find your car at a dealership or private seller, our agents will get everything ready so all you have to do is sign for financing. No waiting around the dealership. No trip to the DMV. No hassle.

Refinance your auto loan

Looking to put more money in your pocket? Refinancing your current auto loan may help reduce your monthly payment or your annual percentage rate (APR). Plus, you’ll have 40 days before your first payment is due.

We even report your payments to national credit bureaus to help you start establishing credit history. We’re here to help you navigate the process and get the car you need to move forward in life.

QUESTIONS

What documentation do I need to apply for an auto loan?

Be prepared to share the following documents:

  • A valid driver’s license issued by a state government agency
  • Proof of income, such as current pay stubs or current bank statements
  • Verification of address, such as a piece of mail with your name and address (cannot be a PO box)
  • Up to four personal references, which can include friends, family, or employers
  • Proof of auto insurance

Can I be prequalified without impacting my credit score?

Yes. When we prequalify you, we run a soft credit pull, which does not impact your FICO® credit score.

When a final decision is made on your application, we run a hard credit pull, which can impact your credit score. Learn more about hard and soft credit pulls.

How do I get my auto loan funds?

We’ve tried to make it as simple as possible for you to buy a car or refinance your current auto loan. We’ll take care of paying the seller (dealership or private seller) and the lienholder (private seller or refinance) so you don’t need to get loan funds.
