Auto Loan Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be an America’s Christian Credit Union member to apply for an auto loan?

You don’t need to be a member to start an auto loan application. However, you’ll need to qualify for and complete membership to finish the process. We are all about a life-long relationship – and there are discounts for automatic payments through our checking accounts – so if you want to get membership started first (it’s quick and easy), you can do so here.

How do I refinance a car loan?

Refinancing your car is an easy way to lower your car loan interest rate and monthly payments. You’ll need the right information and documents (car mileage, VIN, current car loan numbers, driver’s license, and income verification), but don’t worry, we can help! Our Refinance Tool will quickly pull in most of the information we need in a matter of minutes. If you like what you see and are ready to refinance, just click refinance, and we will pull your credit file and complete the process.  A loan officer will be in contact with you to provide your final loan documents.

What kind of credit score do you need to get a car loan?

The credit score you need to get an auto loan depends on the lender, but the average borrower will need a score in the low 700s for a new car loan and mid-600s for a used car loan. Our minimum score to approve an auto loan is 640. Your exact rate will be set based on several factors, in addition to your credit score.

However, credit history (credit score) is one of the main factors that lenders consider to determine auto loan approval. It shows them whether the borrower is high or low risk. Most financial institutions will look at the borrower’s industry-specific auto FICO® Score and their base FICO® Score from the one (or all three) consumer credit reporting bureaus: Equifax®, Experian®, and TransUnion®. ACCU uses Experian® as our bureau of record.

A borrower’s credit score doesn’t just determine car loan approval and the available rate and term; it also affects the interest rate the borrower is given. While it’s possible to find car loan interest rates between 0–2% on new car loans, borrowers will require a credit score of 700 or higher and generally forfeit any rebates offered by a factory – so that may be needed to be taken into consideration as part of the overall auto expense. Additionally, while a borrower may find an auto loan lender willing to accept an average (mid-600s) or low lower than our minimum fico of 640, the borrower’s interest rate will likely be two to five times higher (we have seen up to 24%) than those with average or excellent credit.

1 – APR = Annual percentage rate. Loans on approved credit. Actual APR based on creditworthiness. Not all applicants will qualify or qualify for the lowest rate. See current rates and terms. Membership required–based on eligibility. “As low as” rate at each loan includes a 0.50% discount for ACH/automatic payments. Actual payment depends on the term chosen. For example, a $500 loan with a term of 36 months at 5.49% is approximately $30.19 per month per $1,000 borrowed. Actual payment will vary based on the total amount financed. A one-time $25.00 loan funding fee will be applied to the loan’s principal balance upon acceptance of qualified rate and terms. This will increase the principal balance and effective APR. Must qualify for membership. A $2.00 membership fee may apply.

2 – A new auto is considered to be a vehicle whose model year is up to one year older than the current calendar year or newer.

3 – A used auto is considered to be a vehicle whose model year is more than one year older than the current calendar year. Used vehicles are subject to Kelley Blue Book®’s valuation.

4 – 90-days no payments: Must be requested by borrower. Interest will continue to accrue during this period. Repayment of the loan is still subject to the number of installments chosen at time of funding (i.e. 36, 48, 60, 72 or 84 monthly payments). Current ACCU loans not eligible for promotion.

5 – A first-time auto buyer is considered an individual who has not had a previous car loan (as indicated on their credit report). Not all applicants will qualify, or, qualify individually, and may require a co-signer.
