2 Patelco runs a “soft” credit pull to determine which pre-qualification offer you qualify for. This doesn’t affect your credit score. If you choose to proceed with a loan application, Patelco will request your full credit report from one or more credit reporting agencies. This will be a “hard” pull and may affect your credit. If necessary, we may also share certain information about you with third parties, like our insurers, to process your request.

Although Patelco works closely with many partners, third-party sites may offer a different privacy policy and level of security. Please consult the website’s Privacy Policy for additional information.

4 After you submit a loan application, your Auto Loan rate disclosed is guaranteed for 15 days from the date your loan is approved. Any change to term and/or vehicle information, credit history, account relationship, and Patelco promotional discounts or programs may result in a rate change. Your final rate will be disclosed to you in writing.

5 At closing, you have the option to select up to 90 days of deferred loan payments on your new or used auto loan. The actual number of days will depend on the terms of the loan. Interest will accrue on your auto loan beginning on the date the loan is funded and the first payment will be applied to interest accrued from the date the loan is funded to the first payment date and then to principal due.
