Who is eligible for an auto loan?
Any PSECU member can apply for an auto loan. Not yet a member? It’s easy to join, and most Pennsylvanians are eligible. Learn how to open an account to access our great new and used car loan products.
How much of a new car’s price can I finance?
PSECU will finance up to 100% of the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of any untitled, current model year vehicle that doesn't have excessive mileage.
What if I finance more than 100% of the vehicle value?
The interest rate you pay is based on the total amount of your loan as a percentage of the total amount of your vehicle’s value. This is your loan-to-value ratio (LTV). The total amount of your loan will include taxes, tags, and any additional add-ons, if financed. PSECU will charge a higher rate of interest if you finance a vehicle for more than 100% of the vehicle value (an LTV greater than 100%).
For example: If you finance a vehicle for more than 100% and up to 120% of the retail value, PSECU will charge an additional 2% to the current interest rate. If you are financing a vehicle for more than 120% and up to 130% of the retail value, PSECU will charge an additional 3% to the current interest rate.

What should I know about financing a used vehicle?
For used vehicles, financing is available up to the retail value of any car or truck worth at least $3,000. Value is based on Kelley Blue Book® or other authorized pricing guides. A used vehicle must have a title or be a previous year model purchased after March 31.
How long is my preapproval good for?
Your preapproval is valid for 60 days. You can request your AutoDraft anytime during that 60-day period. The AutoDraft is valid for 120 days. If you haven’t requested your AutoDraft or AutoCheck within 60 days after your loan approval, you’ll need to reapply.
Can I borrow more than a vehicle’s retail price?
In some cases, yes. When we provide financing for more than the retail price or value of a new or used vehicle, a higher interest rate applies.
How does my credit history affect my auto loan?
Along with many other factors, we use your credit history to help determine your interest rate and the amount you can borrow. People with limited credit history sometimes benefit from having a co-signer.
When will my first payment be due?
Your first payment will be due within 30 days from the date of your vehicle purchase.

Paying loan off early
Their service is pretty good but if you try to pay off your loan early it's a pain.
They won't accept electronic money transfers over 1500.00 dollars.
So it's either drop a check in the mail (oh yes, let me drop a check in the mail for thousands of dollars and pray they get it)
Or jump through their "shares" system.
Not happy.

miserable experience
When applying for this loan the bank was unorganized, sending misinformation and taking over 2 weeks to process the request. Insead of transferring the loan into an aux account they insisted on sending a check. The check was sent in the mail according to the banks records, has spent over a week in transit. No tracking number? (really?) Now they are asking to reapply? They even suggested that I use the autos loan service instead!! What a total disaster!!!

Great Experience
The application process was very fast, even with some chit chat and questions, we were done in less than 10 minutes. Additionally it was hassle free, no additional documentation or waiting needed. To top it off, the rates are much better than what I was offered elsewhere. I immediately recommended a family member to not only become a member but to also get a loan through PSECU!

Horrible experience
Application took forever, I had to call over 10 times to get the correct paperwork sent to me. I sent my title to the collateral dept. about a month ago and now I just received a notice that I need to order and pay for a duplicate title. Never again!
