Auto Loan Refinancing

Save on your payments or take cash out from your car to cover your financial needs


Refinancing can make a real difference

Refinancing is an excellent way to change the terms of your current auto loan, which can help you lower the annual percentage rate (APR). A lower APR can mean monthly savings for you, freeing up cash for you to use on other expenses.

Refinancing can help you reduce your current rate and interest you pay over time, while also lowering your car payments.

You may be surprised to learn you can also get cash back from your car’s equity. Borrow up to 100% of your car’s Kelley Blue Book value to use for your financial needs.

On average, our members save nearly $1,800 over the life of their loan by financing their car with us – now it’s your turn to save.2

Whether you recently purchased a vehicle and want to find more affordable terms, or have a higher-rate car loan elsewhere, refinancing may be the right solution for you.

2 Source: Datatrac, NCUA, and CUNA. The study was completed by the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) year ending 2021. CUNA estimates that financing a $30,000 new automobile for 60 months at Patelco will save members an average of $1,780 over five years, or $356 each year, as compared to what they would pay at another banking institution in California. Member results may vary. Subject to approval.

3 Auto loan rate is valid 15 days from your loan approval date. Any change to term and/or vehicle information, credit history, account relationship, and Patelco promotional discounts or programs may result in a rate change. Your final rate will be disclosed to you in writing.

4 LevelUp is offered to members who are approved for the following loans at Patelco’s credit tier 2 or higher: auto, motorcycle, RV, boat, and personal loans, excluding all lines of credit. Total discount of up to 1.50% APR (Annual Percentage Rate) applied in 0.50% APR increments for every 12 consecutive on-time monthly payments. Maximum discount will never cause the final APR to be lower than the LevelUp floor rate for the specific loan and term at time of funding. Monthly payment amount remains constant, with additional money going toward principal, which shortens the term of the loan and the total amount paid over the life of the loan.

5 Patelco runs a “soft” credit pull to determine which pre-qualification offer you qualify for. This doesn’t affect your credit score. If you choose to proceed with a loan application, Patelco will request your full credit report from one or more credit reporting agencies. This will be a “hard” pull and may affect your credit. If necessary, we may also share certain information about you with third parties, like our insurers, to process your request.
