Yes, we offer both financing and refinancing on loans.

Refinancing may be a good option if your credit score has improved or if your car is worth more than the existing loan balance and you want to use the equity to pay off other debt.

Unique to each individual, those deciding between buying or leasing should consider the following: Cost of vehicle, mileage, cost of repairs/maintenance, depreciation of vehicle, insurance costs, and more before making their final decision. Our lease vs buy financial calculator is the perfect tool to assist you in the process.

In some instances, it is better to finance a lower amount at a slightly higher rate, meaning to it would be best to take the rebate.  But the decision may come down to what rate you receive from your credit union or bank. Use our auto loan calculator to run a variety of scenarios based on taking a rebate and financing with LOC or taking the lower rate from the dealership financing.  

If you're interested in applying, you can get the process started online today. If you prefer, come into a branch or give us a call at 800.837.4562.

Loans are typically processed within 24 hours, with some exceptions for weekends and holidays.

LOC offers up to 100% financing. However, factors such as credit score and value of the vehicle can determine how much you're eligible to finance. You can also refinance for more than what you owe if the vehicle is worth more than the loan balance.

Yes. LOC offers loans for both new and used vehicles. You may be surprised to see that the rate of recent year used cars is very similar to that of a new car.

There are no prepayment penalties on your loan from LOC, so feel free to pay a little extra each month to save on interest!

Sales of paper Savings Bonds ended on December 31, 2011. An online account can be used to purchase electronic ones through Treasury Direct. Click on the EE/E Bonds link for EE Bond rates and information. Click on the I Bond link for I Bonds. Your online account can be used for one-time or recurring purchases.

You are welcome to redeem your paper Savings Bonds at an LOC branch. There is a three month interest penalty if the bond is cashed before five years. It takes about eighteen years for paper EE bonds to reach face value (they used to cost half the face value to purchase) and they now offer a guaranteed rate of return. The day the paper EE bond reaches face value is what most people call the maturity date. Both EE and I bonds earn interest for thirty years, so the bonds at final maturity will be worth more than their face value.
