Military auto loan

The US military provides special benefits to its active personnel in addition to the usual package of aids and grants mandated by Congress. These privileges are devised to make life in the active service really worthwhile. If corporations around the world provide additional perks to its employees in the form of bonuses or profit sharing privileges, how much more with the US fighting men and women of the Armed Forces, the pride of our nation and custodian of our security and vanguard of democracy around the globe.

As a member of the military you have access to various special soft loans to help finance you and your family’s whim and fancy. Whatever you desire, the military can provide, of course if the state of your finances is deemed acceptable and your credit standing is good. These loans charge lower interest, rates are designed with an attainable repayment scheme, paid under a feasible time frame and are also deemed flexible because these can even be used to refinance other outstanding loans. These special loan packages are intended only for military personnel in active service.

One of the most popular loans applied for by military personnel is the military auto loan. What makes this loan different from the usual auto loans availed in the market is the fixed, low interest charged on availments, a highly convenient repayment plan and of course this is intended only for active military servicemen and personnel. Depending on the borrower’s capacity, the military auto loan can finance up to 100% of the car value and payment could be arranged either as withdrawals through the military allotment or a direct debit from a bank checking account at the bank. If the borrower opts to pay the outstanding balance ahead of the time, no prepayment penalty is charged.

Car financing is not limited to new or current models, but also year old models. Slightly used cars listed with the National Auto Dealer’s Association can also be subject to financing or re-financing up to 100% of its retail value. Use of the vehicle purchased under a military auto loan is not subject to restrictions within the continental United States, but would require proof of ownership and a valid insurance if it is to be used overseas.

Normally borrowers are required to fill up an application form, after which the lending firm requests for a proof of service status before the application is processed for approval. Personal details will be scrutinized such as permanent address, wife or children, if any, credit history and social security number. In some instances, the lending firm may need references from whom they can direct their queries, should you be deployed overseas.

This loan could also be transacted on-line, particularly for the benefit of personnel deployed overseas, especially if the purchased car would be for the use of the family residing in the United States. Online processing is fast and efficient, usually taking only a few minutes, but approval of loan application comes within a 24 hour period.
