OUCU Auto Refinance FAQs

How does a credit union auto refinance work?

An auto loan refinance replaces your existing car loan with a new loan, which will have a lower interest rate or a better term. A credit union auto loan refinance can either help you save money on interest or lower your monthly loan payments — or both.

Can I refinance if my auto loan is with a different lender?

Yes, it doesn’t matter which lender your existing loan is with. When you refinance, we will pay off your existing loan and you will make payments on your new loan. 

What credit score is needed for auto refinancing?

A credit score of 650 is preferred for auto loan refinancing. If you have a credit score below 650, refinancing can still be an option depending on your income, employment, and current debt level.

Will a credit check be done when I refinance my vehicle?

Yes, we will do a hard credit check when you apply to refinance your car. This may temporarily lower your credit score by a few points, and it may stay on your credit report for up to two years.

Do auto loans have fixed or variable interest rates?

Auto loans typically have fixed interest rates. When you refinance your vehicle, the rate on your new loan will be locked in when the loan is created and won't change. Your monthly payments stay the same with a fixed rate, which simplifies budgeting.

What should I consider when choosing a lender for auto refinancing?

Credit unions, like OUCU Financial, typically offer lower rates and fees compared to other lenders, which can result in significant savings over the life of the loan. OUCU Financial also offers flexible loan terms, no closing costs, and no loan prepayment penalties, which are additional ways you can save. 

Can I refinance an auto loan if I’m self-employed?

Yes, you can refinance an auto loan if you're self-employed, but you may need to provide additional documentation to verify your income. You may be asked to provide recent tax returns, profit and loss statements, bank statements, or other documentation.

Do I qualify to be an OUCU Financial member?

Membership is open to anyone who lives, works, worships, or goes to school in the following counties: Athens, Hocking, Fairfield, Perry, Morgan, Washington, Vinton, and Meigs. You also qualify for membership if you are an Ohio University or Hocking College active or retired employee, student, or graduate, or if you have a family member who is eligible for membership.
