New Auto Loan FAQs

What is loan pre-approval?

Loan pre-approval is a preliminary review of your finances that provides an estimate of how much you may qualify to borrow. Pre-approval is not the same as a formal loan offer, which requires a more detailed review of your finances and a hard credit inquiry.

How are new auto loan rates determined?

New auto loan rates are based on factors such as credit history, loan term, and overall creditworthiness. Your actual rate and repayment terms will be determined during the loan approval process.

What is GAP insurance?

GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection) insurance helps protect you if your vehicle is totaled or stolen and the insurance payout is less than the amount you still owe on your auto loan. It covers the difference between your car's current value and the remaining loan balance.

Can I pay off my new auto loan early without penalty?  

Yes. There is no penalty for making extra payments or paying off your loan early, which may help reduce the amount of interest you pay over the life of the loan.

Loan payments can be made through online or mobile banking, at a branch, or by mail.

Do I need to be an OUCU member to apply for a new auto loan?

Yes, you must become a member to apply for a credit union new auto loan.
