*APR denotes Annual Percentage Rate

Rates reflect a .25% APR reduction for Automatic Payment Service and loan amounts up to 100% of the retail value of the vehicle. Your rate will increase if you discontinue Automatic Payment Service. PSECU will charge an additional 2% to the current interest rate when financing a vehicle for more than 100% and up to 120% of the retail value, and an additional 3% to the current interest rate when financing a vehicle for more than 120% and up to 130% of the retail value. PSECU will only finance up to 100% of the retail value of the vehicle for refinance of an existing PSECU vehicle loan. Monthly payment example: 36 monthly payments of $28.86 per $1,000 borrowed at the 2.49% APR or 60 monthly payments of $18.08 per $1,000 borrowed at the 3.24% APR. The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price determines new vehicle values; Kelley Blue Book^® or other authorized guides determine used vehicle values. Minimum value is $3,000. Monthly payment examples are representative of the maximum term for the corresponding rate per $1,000 borrowed. Your payment may be different from the examples shown. PSECU makes all final decisions regarding vehicle value and proper rate. Loan rates, terms and information are subject to change at any time.

FAQs

An AutoDraft is a blank check for your preapproved amount, valid at any authorized dealership. An AutoCheck, however, is made out to a specific individual seller for the exact amount of purchase.

Refinancing your car loan from another lender with PSECU may help you save money by reducing your interest rate, decreasing your monthly payments or both. You can use the loan calculator above to crunch the numbers on your payment.

Your first payment will be due within 30 days from the date of your vehicle purchase.
