Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to refinance a car loan?
The best time to refinance can vary based on the the current situations. Common refinance times include when interest rates have dropped, when you have positive equity in your vehicle, or a positive change in your financial situation. Occasional lender changes in their policy can also push for car loan refinances.
How long does the Car Loan Refinance process take?
Refinance processes vary on time based on the complexity and and available information you have on the vehicle. If all paperwork is presented to the UCCU employee and the inspection complete may allow the refinance to take place within an hour. Complications and missing paperwork may increase the time it takes to process the loan.
Are all vehicles available for refinance?
It depends on the value of the vehicle. If the vehicle has maintained value in the eyes of the lender, there will be options for refinancing. Typically newer cars hold a higher value and are more often refinanced than older used vehicles.
