Eligibility

In general, you only need to confirm your citizenship or permanent residency status and meet the requirements based on your income, credit score, and the type of vehicle you are buying or refinancing. Loans for new car purchases or refinancing require the vehicle to be no more than one year old. Older used vehicles may have higher rates, and the lender will not finance any vehicle with more than 125,000 miles on it.

Application

Applying for a PenFed auto loan is relatively simple and can be completed online, in person at a PenFed branch, or over the phone. Like any auto loan application, a hard credit check will be performed before final approval. Please note that membership is required to get an auto loan, but you can join PenFed when you apply.
