TDECU Auto Loan Frequently Asked Questions

How can being pre-approved help me when shopping for a vehicle?

When you are pre-approved or pre-qualified for an auto loan, you can focus on negotiating the best price when visiting the dealership. This allows you to shop with confidence, knowing you won't end up with high-rate financing.

Can I be approved for an auto loan and have funds available the next day?

In many cases, you may be approved and receive your funds the same day. We understand that sometimes the vehicle-buying process is an urgent matter. Our team will answer your questions and help expedite the loan application and approval process.

Can I make additional payments and pay off my auto loan earlier than the original term?

Yes. At TDECU, there are no prepayment penalties for paying off your auto loan earlier than your original term. In fact, it is a great way to save on interest over the long run! Use our loan payoff calculator to see how long it will take to pay off your loan.

What financing partners does TDECU have?

I paid off my auto loan. When should I expect to receive my title?

Congratulations on paying off your loan! TDECU will release the paper title or e-title 10 business days after your loan is paid in full. Please note that e-titles are printed by the state of Texas and can take up to an additional 10 business days to mail after TDECU releases the title.
