    Auto Loans

    The calculator is a self-help tool used to quickly estimate the loan amount or monthly payment that fits your budget. The information is provided for illustrative purposes only. Rates are subject to change, and your loan terms may vary based on your individual circumstances. APR is Annual Percentage Rate. Published rates are accurate as of 5/15/2024, and subject to change. Offer subject to credit approval. Rate applies to 2023 and newer vehicles with a loan term of up to 75 months (based on credit worthiness), up to 100% LTV (loan to value). Call for rates on older model vehicles. Loan amount will be determined by income and other factors. The rate listed includes an additional .75%% APR discount for buying through our Auto Buying Service. To receive this discount, an auto loan must be booked through BCU, and auto purchase must be made at a certified dealer through BCU’s Auto Buying Service purchasing process. The rate listed also assumes an automatic payment method and includes a 0.50% discount for having two of the following relationships: direct deposit of at least $1,000 per month or more into your credit union checking account; at least $25,000 on deposit with the credit union; or a loan in good standing. Qualifying loans include mortgage, home equity, auto, and credit card. A qualifying loan must have a current balance and credit cards must have a transaction within the past 30 days. Any Credit Union loan that is not in good standing or delinquent will disqualify you for Rewards Rates. Individual rates may vary based on credit score and other factors. An example of payment terms are as follows: an amount financed of $25,000 with an APR of 5.34%% and a term of 75 months would have a monthly payment of $385.53.
