CUNA estimates that financing a $30,000 new automobile for 60 months at Patelco will save members an average of $1,780 over five years, or $356 each year, as compared to what they would pay at another banking institution in California. Member results may vary. Subject to approval.
3 After you submit a loan application, your Auto Loan rate disclosed is guaranteed for 15 days from the date your loan is approved. Any change to term and/or vehicle information, credit history, account relationship, and Patelco promotional discounts or programs may result in a rate change. Your final rate will be disclosed to you in writing.
4 At closing, you have the option to select up to 90 days of deferred loan payments on your new or used auto loan. The actual number of days will depend on the terms of the loan. Interest will accrue on your auto loan beginning on the date the loan is funded and the first payment will be applied to interest accrued from the date the loan is funded to the first payment date and then to principal due.
5 LevelUp 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.
