How to get started

Buying a new or used vehicle is easier when you understand how to get an auto loan. Even if you're buying a new car from a dealership, you can choose where to get your financing—which can lead to substantial savings.

Step 1

Shop for a car

The first step toward getting an auto loan is finding the car you'd like to buy. This could mean a new or used car from a dealership or a private seller. Shopping around and comparing prices will help you find the best deal.

Step 2

Apply for an auto loan

Contact us or visit a local branch to apply for an auto loan. One of our friendly lending experts will gather information about you and the vehicle you'd like to purchase.

Step 3

Prepare for closing

As we prepare to finalize your loan, we may reach out to you for more information. Feel free to ask any questions about the loan process—we're here to be your guide.

Step 4

Close your loan to receive your funds

Lastly, you'll sign closing documents to finalize your auto loan. After closing, you'll receive your funds, which could arrive in as little as 24 hours. Then you can return to the seller to buy and enjoy your new ride.

Terms and conditions subject to change.

Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is {product.AL.Promo_APR_RT} as of {product.AL.DISC_APR_DT}, to qualifying applicants for a fixed-rate auto loan amortized over 5 years, and includes discounts for autodraft. APR is based upon a rate of {product.AL.DISC_INIT_PF_RT} and an origination fee of $100.

For example: An auto loan with an amount financed of $30,000 at a {product.AL.DISC_INIT_PF_RT} fixed rate and including a $100 origination fee would have an APR of {product.AL.Promo_APR_RT} and you would make 60 payments of {product.AL.DISC_PMT_RANGE1_DL} and pay total interest of {product.AL.DISC_TTL_INT_DL}.

Advertised APR is the lowest APR available and assumes excellent credit history and a discount for autodraft. Other rates and terms are available based on loan amount and customer credit profile.
