Personal & Business Car Loans
Getting prequalified for an auto loan before visiting the dealership gives you negotiating power and protects you from inflated dealer financing rates. Prequalification is a soft credit check that estimates your loan amount, interest rate, and terms — it doesn't affect your credit score and doesn't commit you to anything. Once you find the right vehicle, you convert the prequalification into a final loan approval.
