STOP into the Credit Union BEFORE you visit the dealer!

A PREAPPROVED LOAN at the Credit Union will help you purchase a car that fits your lifestyle with payments that fit your pocketbook.  To improve your negotiation power and speed up the loan process, don’t forget to get preapproved before visiting the dealer.  And because of our LOW LOAN RATES on new and used vehicles, you will get more car for your money.

Applying for a vehicle loan is quick and easy at the Credit Union!  We aim to turn the loan around within a day so you can begin shopping immediately.

We only pull your credit report ONCE and our credit pull is only a “SOFT PULL” so it won’t affect your credit score!

DID YOU KNOW…Dealers tend to “shop you around” to lenders that they have a relationship with.  BUT…each lender they use will pull your credit (a “hard pull”) which, in turn, could lower your credit score quite a bit!  If you decide to go to a dealer first, be sure that you tell them NOT to pull your credit; that you plan to go through your Credit Union for financing.

The Loan Application can be downloaded from our website along with a checklist of everything we need to begin processing your loan.

While you are at the Credit Union, our loan officers can steer you to car-buying information to help YOU – not the dealer – drive your best deal! With that kind of knowledge and our GREAT VEHICLE RATES, nothing can STOP you from driving the best deal around town!  You will have personalized, friendly service from start to finish.  Call us today!
