3Source: Datatrac, NCUA, and CUNA. The study was completed by the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) year ending 2020. CUNA estimates that financing a $30,000 new automobile for 60 months at Patelco will save members an average of $1,950 over five years, or $390 each year, as compared to what they would pay at another banking institution in California. Member results may vary. Subject to approval.

4LevelUp 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.
