Page 2 IEC FEDERAL CREDIT UNION YOUR NEXT AUTO LOAN Remember your Credit Union is ready, willing and able to help you with your next vehicle purchase or if you want to refinance a vehicle you currently have at another financial institution. Here are a few reasons to look to your Credit Union first: 1. If you have had previous loans, we will only have to update your current application and more than likely you will be able to be preapproved with one phone call. 2. No high pressure sales. We will run the numbers and present you with available options and let you make the final decision. 3. We have competitive rates. While we won’t offer zero percent, we can run the figures to see if taking a rebate and financing a lower amount at our rate is better than financing at zero percent. 4. You will always receive personalized member service. We care and want you to get the best deal regardless of whether you finance through the Credit Union or somewhere else. We will book your trade-in if you have one and will be happy to run any terms, rates or amounts so you have all the information needed to make an informed decision. We would like to be your lender of choice and will do everything in our power to make your borrowing experience relatively easy and satisfying. Page 3 THINGS TO CONSIDER ON YOUR NEXT TRIP When planning your next vacation or weekend trip remember to : Contact the Credit Union if you are travelling and planning to use your Credit Union Credit Card or Debit Card. A note will be attached to these accounts and avoid our security on both cards from placing a temporary block on the cards due to a change in your “normal” usage pattern. While notating on your cards of travel may not stop a card from being blocked, it will expedite removal of the block. Consider using our CU Travel Money Card instead of your Debit Card or Credit Card. You can load up to $5000.00 on the Prepaid Debit Card and not have to worry if it is lost or stolen and these cards are accepted anywhere Visa is accepted. This card is also not tied to any account . This would allow your regular Credit Card or Debit Card to be the backup in case your Money Card was lost or stolen. If you are plan on using your Debit Card internationally, you will need to contact the Credit Union. We have blocked all international debit card transactions and will need to open access for a period of time on your card. Or if you just need some cash for a short term, contact the Credit Union and ask about our new “Speedy Cash” loan. You can get up to $1000.00 with no application or credit report. The term is 6mos. at 10%APR. Ask for Lisa for more information.
