Vehicle Loans

At BFCU, we offer our members competitive vehicle loan rates, with various terms to fit your budget.  Whether you are buying a new or used vehicle, we will make the process of purchasing your new car or motorcycle simple and efficient. 

BFCU offers Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) at a lower cost than most dealerships.  GAP protection will cover you in the event your vehicle is totaled and your primary insurance company settlement does not cover your outstanding loan balance.

**Direct Deposit Discounted Rate: The ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE on your loan will reflect a discount of 0.50% if you have:

  1. A checking account with BFCU;
  2. A savings account with BFCU;
  3. Direct Deposit from your employer to the BFCU checking or savings account;
  4. Automatic loan payments from the BFCU checking or savings account that the Direct Deposit is set up with;

Your ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE will increase by 0.50% if you discontinue Direct Deposit to your BFCU savings or checking account. Any increase will take the form or more payments of the same amount. EXAMPLE: If your loan was $10,000 at 6% for 120 months and the rate increased to 6.50% after 3 years, you would have to make 4 additional payments.
