Get a Break from High Interest Rates
The primary borrower will receive a .75 point discount from the rate for which you would normally qualify. For example – If you would normally qualify for an 8.00% rate, it will be reduced to 7.25% under this program.

Complimentary GAP Plus Protection
GAP Plus is a valuable program to protect almost any vehicle. Should a covered vehicle be stolen or totaled in an accident, GAP covers the difference between what your insurance pays and what is owed on the vehicle.

60 Days with No Payment
Take some time to revise your monthly budget. Drive your new vehicle for 60 days before the first loan payment is due.

Auto Loan Calculators
Back in 2011 I financed my new vehicle with ATFCU. I had no understanding of what GAP coverage was or why I would need it. But thank goodness my loan officer, Christie Fraser, explained why it was important so I added it to my loan. Three weeks later I was in a wreck that totaled my car. If I had not had the GAP coverage I would have had to pay a lot out of pocket since I had not made even one car payment at the time.
