Apply

What interest rates do you offer?: Please visit our Rates page for information on our current interest rates.
What are the available loan terms?: SFCU offers a wide range of loan repayment options with terms up to 72 months. You will be assigned a Member Service Representative who will work with you to find the right repayment option for your needs.
Will the interest rate on the loan depend solely on my credit score?: No, your interest rate will depend on multiple factors, including your credit score, vehicle age, time in business, loan term, and number of units owned.
How much will I get approved for?: Approvals are based on variables within each applicant scenario. A loan application must be submitted to an underwriter for review to determine an accurate approval amount. Variables include, but not limited to, your credit score and history, income, debt ratio, loan type, vehicle mileage and the value of the vehicle relative to the amount of the loan (Loan-to-Value). Currently, Selfreliance FCU finances vehicle loans of up to $175,000 / per commercial vehicle.
What is Loan-to-Value (LTV)?: Loan-to-Value refers to the amount of the loan in relation to the retail value of the vehicle being financed.

Example 1: Vehicle with a retail value of $100,000, and a loan amount of $90,000 has a 90% LTV.
Example 2: Vehicle with a retail value of $100,000, and a loan amount of $110,000 has a 110% LTV.
I have limited credit history; can I still get a loan?: Yes, but a co-borrower or co-signer may be required.
What is the difference between a co-borrower and a co-signer?: A co-borrower is a joint applicant who is also on the title and agrees to be equally responsible for repayment of the loan. Both applicants' income and credit profiles are used for approval of the loan.
A co-signer agrees to take responsibility for repaying the loan if the primary borrower misses a payment. The co-signer's income and credit profiles are used for approval of the loan, who typically has better credit or a higher income than the primary borrower, who might otherwise not get a loan approved without the help of a co-signer.

After You Apply

How long is the approval process?: That depends on how fast you can gather all required documentation. If you are prepared, you can expect that the underwriting and processing should take up to five business days.
What kind of insurance will Selfreliance FCU require?: We'll ask you to present a Standard Certificate of Insurance at closing.
Can I make changes after I submit the application?: Please contact us if you need to make any changes to your application.
When do my credit decision and the APR (Annual Percentage Rate) expire?: Your auto loan pre-approval and interest rate are locked in for 30 calendar days from the date of the application.
Can I include taxes, title fees, extended warranty, and other fees in the loan?: Yes, in most cases.
