Regions Bank has competitive interest rates and a high maximum amount for its auto loans. But the information available is scarce, and you will need to reach out to a Regions representative if you have questions about the process.
Regions Bank offers auto loans for drivers looking to finance a new or used vehicle or refinance an existing auto loan. You can borrow anywhere between $5,000 and $100,000.
Financing with Regions includes complimentary guaranteed asset protection (GAP) coverage for new or pre-owned vehicles. GAP coverage protects you against vehicle payments if something were to happen to your vehicle.
Regions Bank allows for a high loan-to-value ratio — up to 110 percent on private party purchases and 130 percent on those from dealerships. But while it can be useful to help cover taxes or other expenses, borrowing more than your vehicle is worth can increase the chance of becoming upside-down on your car loan.
Regions does not provide much information about its auto refinance program. However, it does not have a separate refinance application, so you will follow the same process as with its new and used auto loans. If you have questions about if your loan qualifies, email, call or visit Regions.
You can either apply for an auto loan online or in person at one of Regions Bank branches.
Regions states a fast credit decision will be available following loan application but shares no specific timeline on funding. The Alabama-based bank also does not disclose any fees, so it is worth your while to potentially prepare to pay application or origination fees.
