Disclosures
SchoolsFirst FCU has a loan program featuring a range of interest rates for some of its consumer loans. Rates, terms and conditions are subject to change without notice and may vary based on collateral conditions, qualification, creditworthiness and amount financed. SchoolsFirst FCU is not affiliated with any FastTrack dealers.
  1. Does not apply to the refinance of existing SchoolsFirst FCU auto loans or cash-out refinance loans and is nontransferable. The “90 day no payment” period cannot be combined with other payment skip programs to extend the first payment due date longer than 90 days from funding. Interest begins to accrue immediately and the 90 days of interest will be collected through the first payment. As a result, you may pay higher total finance charges on the loan than if payments began earlier.
