Stop Waiting, Start Driving

If rates drop, you can lower yours – no refinance needed!¹

Through July 20

This summer, you don't have to wait and see whether loan rates will go down.

With our limited-time auto loan offer, you can lock in today's competitive rate – and still have the opportunity to benefit if rates improve later.

A rate that can go down – even after you drive off¹

Through July 20, you can finance with confidence knowing you have built-in flexibility:

  • Request a one-time rate reduction if rates drop during your loan term¹
  • No refinance or added fees required¹
  • Lower your interest and potentially pay off your loan sooner

See the difference a lower rate could make²

Both examples below start with a $40,000 loan, 60-month term, and the same APR. In the second example the rate is lowered by 2.00% after six months.

That could mean an estimated $1,882 in interest savings.²

¹ Offer valid on auto loans approved between May 21 and July 20, 2026. If standard Credit Union auto loan rates decrease during the life of the loan, eligible members may request a one-time rate reduction. The adjusted rate will be based on the Credit Union’s current standard rates in effect at the time of the request and may not exceed a maximum reduction of 2.00% APR from the original loan rate. Request must be initiated by the member and may only be made after the loan has been open for a minimum of six (6) months.

Loan must be current and in good standing with a history of on-time payments. Rate adjustments for this offer are based on the loan’s original underwriting factors, including risk tier, term, and vehicle condition. Any request to change the loan term or risk tier will require a full refinance and credit approval.

Rate reduction applies to standard rates only and excludes promotional, discounted, or special rate programs. Monthly loan payment will not change; any rate reduction will be applied by adjusting the loan term or amortization schedule. Approved rate changes will be disclosed to the member in writing prior to taking effect. Additional restrictions may apply. Offer subject to change or cancellation without notice.

² Savings shown are for illustrative purposes only and are based on the maximum 2.00% Annual Percentage Rate (APR) reduction beginning with the 7th payment on a $40,000 auto loan with a 60-month term. This example assumes an original standard starting APR of 4.99%, valid as of May 21, 2026. Actual savings may vary depending on loan amount, term, rate, timing of rate reduction, and individual qualifications. This example does not include taxes, fees, or other costs that may apply. All loans are subject to credit approval. Terms and conditions are subject to change without notice. Other restrictions may apply.

³ Rate will be locked and honored for 60 days after application approval if received between May 21 and July 20, 2026.

⁴ Depends on amount financed, transaction type, collateral details, and credit history.
