Question: If I decide to pay my auto loan off early, is there a prepayment penalty?
In most states there is no prepayment penalty, but depending on the particulars of your specific loan situation, a prepayment fee may apply for loans that originate in Florida, Louisiana and Ohio.
What types of car loans do you offer?
Bank of America offers a variety of auto loan types:
Dealer purchases (new and used cars)
Refinancing of current auto loans
Lease buyouts (when you decide to purchase your leased vehicle)
If you would like to apply for a loan to purchase a vehicle from another individual (also known as a private party sale) you can do so by visiting a financial center.
Be sure to review the auto loan eligibility requirements and conditions before you begin the auto loan application process.
Do you offer car loans in all 50 states?
Yes. Bank of America car loans are available in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
How do I apply for an auto loan?
You can apply for your auto loan online in just a few minutes. There’s no fee to apply and most decisions are available in about 60 seconds. In cases where applications require a more detailed review, we’ll send you an email when the decision is ready.
You can also schedule an appointment at your local financial center to meet with us at your convenience.
Does Bank of America charge a fee to apply for an auto loan?
No. Bank of America does not charge you an auto loan application fee or a loan document preparation fee. Depending on which state you live in, though, a title fee and state fees may apply. A loan fee may apply in Indiana and Ohio.
What type of information do you collect when I apply for an auto loan?
When you apply for an auto loan with Bank of America, you’ll be asked to provide personal information such as your name, address, Social Security number, employment information, income, U.S. citizenship status and email address.
We need your email address to be able to send you information about your application status or contact you regarding your experience with the online process. If you’re concerned about how your email address may be used for marketing and sharing information, you can visit the Privacy & Security section of our site and set your privacy choices.
Depending on the specifics of your loan request, the following documents may be required prior to closing: purchase agreement/bill of sale, registration, title, lease buyout instructions, proof of income, federal tax returns, W-2s and financial statements.
For refinance loans and lease buyouts, we require specific vehicle information such as make, model, year, mileage and vehicle identification number (VIN).
How soon will I know if my auto loan application has been approved?
Most decisions are available in about 60 seconds. In cases where applications require a more detailed review, we’ll send you an email when the decision is ready.
If I’m approved, how long is my loan offer good for?
Your rate is valid for 30 days from the date of original application submission.
How do I check the status of my auto loan application?
You can securely check the status of your car loan application anytime. We will also send you an email when a decision about your application has been made.
Can I get approved for an auto loan before I pick out my car?
Yes. Your purchase loan approval and interest rate are locked in for 30 calendar days from the date of your original loan submission, which means you know before you shop exactly how much car you can afford.
For all other types of auto loans (for example a car loan refinance or a lease buyout), you will need to provide a complete description of the vehicle including the year, make, model, vehicle identification number (VIN) and mileage.
What is the difference between a franchise dealer and an independent dealer?
Franchise dealers sell new and used cars for auto manufacturers such as Ford®, General Motors®, Chrysler®, Honda® and others. Independent dealers are not affiliated with an auto manufacturer and may sell many different brands of vehicles.
Bank of America does not normally finance vehicles purchased from independent dealers. The general exceptions to this are CarMax®, Hertz Car Sales and Enterprise Car Sales.
What is the benefit of purchasing through Bank of America’s authorized dealer network?
Bank of America’s authorized dealer network can help streamline your car buying process. Once you’ve been approved, you’ll get an approved dealer letter to take to any one of our network dealerships. Having an approved loan allows you to negotiate with dealers on what really matters: the price of the car.
Use our dealer locator tool to find authorized dealers in your area.
If I can get special rate financing at the dealership, why would I finance my car with Bank of America?
Special rate programs can be very attractive if they’re offered for the specific car you want and they provide you with appropriate loan terms, but sometimes the terms are too restrictive or you may want different terms.
Dealers often offer cash rebates as an alternative to low interest rates. Choosing the cash rebate and financing with us may be a better option for you: By choosing the rebate, applying it to your down payment and combining that with low-rate financing from us, you can maximize your total savings.
