Vehicle Loans

Applying for a Vehicle Loan

Whether you're a first time buyer looking for advice or a seasoned pro, we are ready to help! Choose an option that works best for you:

Option #1 | Apply for Pre-Approval at First Citizens Bank

This is a great option for a vehicle loan, especially if you're still shopping around and haven't settled on a particular car yet. With a pre-approval, you'll have a budget and terms taken care of which means you can talk about a car's price rather than monthly payments and financing.

Option #2 | Find a Vehicle, Then Visit With Us

If you've got a specific car picked out, visit with us! Contact us at 800-423-1602 to make an appointment to visit with our staff about current rates and loan options at any of our offices.

Frequently Asked Questions
  • How do I go about getting pre-approved for a vehicle loan? Simply apply online or in person for an auto loan and give a best estimate of the amount you are looking to spend. From there the lender will review and either approve, counter, or deny the application based on the amount. Final approval will require collateral review, but an initial approval can be offered to allow a customer to go shopping with confidence.
  • Why is it better to get a loan with First Citizens than with a dealer? First Citizens Bank will offer you a local personal experience with the entire auto loan purchase and life of the loan. Using the dealer ends when you drive off the lot for most. Your bank will be there for the entire relationship.
  • How does the whole vehicle loan process work when getting it from First Citizens? You start with the application, conditional approval, purchase, and loan closing. If you are buying from a dealership we would like to get the purchase agreement or bill of sale. If purchasing from a private party we encourage the buyer to see a copy of the title before finalizing the purchase. This helps the buyer know if the title is salvaged or reconstructed. If you are looking for a pre-approval we can give you a letter to take with you to the dealership to offer an added level of comfort and buying power as you move through the buying process.
