It provides unsecured auto loans, allowing borrowers to finance new and used vehicles, refinance existing loans, or purchase motorcycles and boats, with loan amounts ranging from $5,000 to $100,000. The company is noted for their competitive interest rates, starting at 7.24% with autopay, and offers flexible loan terms from 24 to 84 months. Unique features include a rapid funding process that can deliver funds on the same day as application approval and a "Loan Experience Guarantee," which promises $100 to dissatisfied customers.
