    *APR = Annual Percentage Rate. Rates are based on an evaluation of credit history and other factors specific to your loan (such as loan term, loan amount, loan-to-value, age of collateral, as applicable) and may be higher than the lowest rates advertised. Lowest rates advertised are based on an established member's loan with a term of 36 months or less, LTV (loan to value) of 70% or less and assumes a UCU Automatic Payment method (Includes an Automatic Payment discount of 0.25% from a UCU Account only.) and includes a 0.25% Repeat Borrower discount (Repeat Borrower discount of 0.25% is based on minimum 6 months of positive UCU loan repayment history.). Rates are higher for LTV over 70% and/or terms greater than 36 months. Rate applies to vehicle models 2017 and newer. 

     

    1Payment can be deferred for 90 days, however, interest will accrue from the date of the contract. Rates are based on an evaluation of credit history and other factors specific to your loan (such as loan term, loan amount, loan-to-value, age of collateral, as applicable) and may be higher than the lowest rates advertised. Rates are subject to change at any time. Estimated monthly payment example: New auto loan of $25,000 for 60 months for 100% LTV at 5.24% with Automatic Payment and Repeat Borrower Discount will have an estimated monthly payment of $472.00.
