For many car buyers, the handshake to close the sale is just the first part of the purchase; then comes the financing. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, a record 107 million Americans have auto loan debt.
Managing your auto loan responsibly can help you take the wheel of your new car and your credit rating. By making consistent on-time loan payments, you can boost your credit score and increase your eligibility for attractive interest rates down the road. Here’s how building credit with an auto loan works:
Your credit score is a three-digit number—ranging from 300 to 850 on the widely used FICO scale—that provides a snapshot of your “credit worthiness.” It is used by lenders to decide if, and at what interest rate, they’ll give you a loan. The higher your number, the better.
There are five factors that make up your score.
FICO gives precedence to installment loans over revolving credit, so it’s doubly important to consistently pay your auto loan on time. By doing so, you’ll establish the dependable track record that lenders look for. As your score increases, you’ll be more likely to qualify for better interest rates on not only auto loans but mortgages and personal loans as well.
Before you sign on the dotted line, make sure the terms—amount, due date, etc.—are ones you’re comfortable with and can meet throughout the life of the loan. To better manage your loan on your path to building credit, consider setting automatic payments to be deducted from your checking account, or set payment reminders so the due date doesn’t pass you by. Such steps can help you stay on a timely track and keep your credit score on its upward climb.

7Cash Back rewards offer 1.00% cash back on all qualified purchases made by eligible Triple Advantage Checking account holders with an eligible AAA membership.* To qualify for cash back, Triple Advantage Checking account holders must meet all requirements and a transaction must be deemed as a qualified purchase.
Qualified purchases are signature-based purchases made with a AAA Banking debit card from a Triple Advantage Checking Account. To make a signature-based purchase, select “credit” rather than debit at point-of-sale kiosks. The “credit” option is most often pre-selected when making purchases online using a debit card. Online subscription payments may not be considered signature-based purchases. The payment transaction type (signature-based or other) is ultimately decided by the merchant and how the transaction is transmitted to AAA Banking at the time of processing. AAA Banking reserves the right to determine if a transaction was a qualified purchase, and to establish additional types of qualified purchases that could be made available in a variety of ways. Any goods or services purchased with the debit card that are returned or otherwise credited to the account are not qualified purchases. Unlawful purchases and purchases of currency, cash or cash equivalents (including, without limitation, currency from the U.S. Mint, travelers cheques, gift cards, cryptocurrency, casino chips, peer-to-peer payments, prepaid debit cards, account openings, loan payments, or other cash equivalents) made with a debit card are not qualified purchases. Documentation may be required to validate that certain purchases are qualified purchases. If you or AAA Banking closes the account for any reason before the end of the statement cycle, you will forfeit all rewards accrued through your linked debit card during that statement cycle. The AAA Banking Visa® debit card is issued by Grasshopper Bank, N.A. pursuant to a license from Visa U.S.A. Inc. and may be used everywhere Visa is accepted.
