If you’re looking for a terrific car loan, get started now and apply online. It’s a quick and easy process with fast turnaround from the SAFE loans team. Depending on your application information, you may get an approval immediately. If not, a loan officer will contact you within 24-48 hours to ask a few additional questions before your application is processed.
Before you start, it may be helpful to check your credit report. This will allow you to check for errors and to dispute any issues ahead of time. Don’t forget–SAFE members can access their FICO Credit Score at no cost through our Online & Mobile Banking.
Our car loan rates depend on both the length of your repayment term and the age of the vehicle you want to buy. See current auto loan rates on our Rates page.
Just like there are benefits to saving with a credit union, there are benefits to borrowing from one, too. As a not-for-profit credit union, we offer:
