Car Loans

7.5% variable (7.78% typical APR)

Need New Wheels?

Whether you’re looking for your first car or looking to change your current vehicle, chances are you know exactly the one you want. But what about the finance? When you’re in the market for a car loan, that can be a tough decision.

You could go the PCP route. It has its advantages, but remember, you won’t own the car until you’ve made that last payment.

You could borrow from a bank, but at what interest rate? Plus you may be penalised if you want to repay the loan early. Or you could swing by St. Francis Credit Union and check out a real value-for-money car loan. You can apply even before you start looking for your dream motor.

And when you do go car shopping, you’ll have all the negotiating power of a cash customer.
