You may have the car of your dreams already, but your current loan situation may be less than ideal. Refinancing your auto loan is a great way to lessen financial stress and make the remainder of your loan payoff process easy, all while saving money! Here are some things to keep in mind before making the switch:

Are you happy with your current interest rate or could you benefit from a lower one? One of the best benefits of refinancing your auto loan is lowering your interest rate to save you money. Refinance with USC Credit Union and score a rate as low as 1.99% APR*.

Before refinancing, it’s important to know how long you have been paying off the loan for. If you have only been paying for a few months, it is not in your best interest to begin the refinancing process. Refinancing is a preferable option when the value of your car is less than the amount of loan still needing to be repaid.

Although you may get a lower interest rate through the refinance process, it is important to do the math and see if you will end up paying more money as a refinanced loan might need to be extended to a longer period of time in order to score you a lower interest rate or monthly payment. Depending on your situation, it may be easier to extend your loan term.

If getting an auto loan refinance is the right decision for you, USC Credit Union is here to help you get the lowest rates with the best service. Plus, from now until March 31st, earn up to $500 cashback** when you refinance!
