Interested in cashing out?

If you want access to cash at a low, fixed rate, you can explore a “cash out” car refinance from your friendly local credit union (UMe!).

So how does it work? First, you need to have equity in your car. This is when your car’s value is greater than your outstanding loan balance. You build equity by paying down your loan — and sometimes a car’s value goes up instead of down so you have even more equity!

Let’s run some numbers: If your current car is worth $25,000 according to Kelley Blue Book, but you only owe $20,000 on your existing loan, we can refinance your loan for the $20,000 balance AND fund an additional $5,000 at the same low rate. (Lower than a credit card or personal loan!)

You can then use the extra cash for anything — from paying off high-rate debt to taking a much-needed vacation. You’re the boss! This is just one of the many wonderful reasons to consider an auto refinance from a credit union.

    To set up an automatic transfer, fill out our Share to Loan Transfer Form or give us a call at (818) 238-2900.

  • Payroll Deduction

    If you have a credit union car loan, payroll deduction is a convenient way to have your loan payments automatically deducted from your paycheck.

    To find out if you’re eligible for payroll deduction, contact your employer’s benefits department. If you already have payroll deduction set up with the credit union and want to set up automatic loan payments, call us at (818) 238-2900.

Credit Union Auto Refinance FAQ

We make it super duper easy to complete the loan application for your auto refinance! At UMe, you can apply online 24/7, visit us, or give us a call at (818) 238-2900.

Whether you have a new or used vehicle, we will cover your remaining loan balance plus any fees you need to pay. Plus, we can cash out any equity you have and borrow those funds at the same low interest rate as your new auto loan.

An auto loan refinance is a chance to achieve your financial goals. You might want a lower payment to free up some cash each month, or you might want a higher payment to save on interest and get debt-free faster.

You can achieve these goals by choosing a new loan term and you may get lower rates for a number of reasons, like if your credit report shows you’re on top of your finances or if market rates have dropped. You may also qualify for certain rate discounts. Here’s what to consider:

  • Market rates: The lowest annual percentage rate (APR) we can offer is based on what’s happening in the big old economy.
  • Credit scores: Higher credit scores get lower rates.
  • Loan terms: Shorter terms get lower rates but higher payments, while longer terms get higher rates but lower payments.
  • Terms and conditions: You can read the fine print of any car loan contract to see exactly what’s going on.

GAP stands for Guaranteed Asset Protection and pays the difference between what you owe and what your insurance company will pay — filling the gap!

When you purchase a vehicle, it depreciates the moment you drive it away. So, if your vehicle is stolen, or totaled in an accident, you could end up owing more than the vehicle is worth. GAP Insurance coverage is designed to pay the difference between the insurance settlement and the loan balance, so you don’t owe money for a vehicle you no longer have.

To make things super simple and stress-free, we will make sure you get all the extra info you need before you start paying for any GAP insurance coverage. Plus, you can cancel GAP at any time. If you cancel your GAP within 90 days, you can get a full refund.
