What Is an Auto Equity Loan?

Need extra money? You may be driving it. When you own your vehicle, you've earned equity you can use as collateral to secure your loan. That means, if you borrow with your car, it could help you get approved and get more credit! And with timely payments, you could build credit.

Simply gather the required documentation and drive your vehicle to a Cash Money location.

Benefits of Using Your Car as Collateral for a Loan

When you use a vehicle to back up your loan, you'll typically have a quicker approval journey and be approved for more money than an unsecured loan.
