Drive Forward with Confidence
Whether you’re looking to finance a new or used vehicle or refinance your current auto loan for better terms, Alternatives is here to help. We recognize that the credit scoring system can be challenging for those with low incomes. Instead of focusing solely on credit scores, we work with you to create a path towards securing a loan that meets your needs.
Why Choose Alternatives for Your Auto Loan?
As a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), we’re committed to helping people with low credit scores who may be targeted by dealerships and lenders that offer high-interest rates disguised as “low” monthly payments. We provide competitive rates, even if your credit score isn’t great, and we can often help you refinance high-interest auto loans to get better rates. Our goal is to support you on your path to financial success.
