This not-for-profit financial solution is designed to support eligible GEICO members with potentially lower rates, fewer fees, and features such as competitive APRs and useful digital tools. Whether you are buying a new car, choosing a used vehicle, or refinancing an existing loan, GEICO CU aims to make the financing process clear, simple, and focused on members.

What to Know Before You Apply
➡️ Membership is required 👤
If you are a GEICO policyholder or meet BCU eligibility rules, such as living in certain Illinois or Wisconsin counties, joining can be a straightforward process.
➡️ Vehicle Rules apply
Eligible vehicles generally must be no more than 10 years old and have fewer than 125,000 miles.
➡️ How the rate discount works
To receive the 1% savings, you need to meet two qualifying conditions: autopay, $25K+ on deposit, or another active loan.
➡️ Soft pulls turn hard with application
You can view estimated rates without affecting your credit, but final approval requires a hard credit check.
➡️ Same loan used for refinancing
You may refinance an existing auto, RV, or boat loan, with BCU applying the same low-rate structure.
➡️ Terms and fees
Rates and terms can vary by state. Refinance applications usually have no fees, while vehicle purchases may include small application costs.
