Auto refinance allows you to lessen the burden of your monthly car payment. Additionally, if you’re wanting to free up some extra funds, refinancing can allow you to defer payments, giving you some extra money at a time when you need it the most.

If you are not sure how refinancing your auto loan will help you save money every month, read through the example below.

In doing so, they were able to save more than $2,800 over the life of their loan and dropped their monthly payment by almost $50.

WHY REFINANCE?

• Save money.  Lowering your interest rate can save you money over the long term, and lowering your monthly car payment can save you money in the short term. Luckily, we are often able to reduce both rates and monthly payments, saving you money both now and in the future.
• Defer a car payment. In addition to lower interest rates, sometimes delaying a car payment is an effective way to have a temporary budget surplus; you have the freedom to spend or save it however you wish.
• Pay off your car faster by shortening your loan term and/or lowering your interest rate. These factors affect interest accrual. The smaller the amount and the less time spent accruing, the quicker you pay off your principal.
• Break up with big banks.  Credit Unions, which have better rates, personalized service, and more satisfied members, comprise most of our lender network.
