How Auto Refinancing Works
Auto refinancing means replacing your current car loan with a new one — typically from a different lender — to see if they can find better rates and terms. The new lender pays off your existing loan, and you start making payments on the new one. This could help you find a loan structure that better fits your financial needs.

Auto Loan Refinancing FAQs
When you refinance a car loan, your new lender pays off your existing auto loan. You'll then make payments to the new lender based on your new loan amount, rate and term.
If you can get a lower interest rate or a shorter loan term than your current lender, then you could save money in the long term.
Members often choose refinancing when their credit score has improved or when auto loan refinance rates have dropped.
When you apply to refinance your auto loan, lenders generally consider factors such as your credit score, credit history, loan amount and the value of your vehicle compared to your existing auto loan. These details help determine eligibility during the credit approval process.
Because auto loan refinancing involves a hard credit inquiry, you may see a temporary dip in your credit score. Over time, responsible repayment on your refinanced loan could improve your credit history — and you may qualify to lower your rate even more with our Loan Reprice Program.
BECU does not charge prepayment penalties or refinancing fees.
