What you need to know about Auto Approve auto loans

Not a direct lender

Auto Approve is not a direct lender — instead, it works with various banks and credit unions across the country to offer auto refinancing. You may get loan offers from a variety of companies — but there’s no guarantee you’ll get a loan offer.

Wide range of refinancing programs

Beyond traditional loan refinancing, you can apply to take out a loan through Auto Approve to buy a vehicle you are currently leasing, either at the end of your lease term or before.

Who qualifies for the best rates?

Auto Approve promises competitive rates on refinance loans, but not everyone will qualify for its best terms.
