How do I refinance a car loan with a different bank?

How do I refinance a car loan with a different bank? My current loan term isn’t very long, which means I am paying high-interest rates. I want to change the length of my loan so I can save money and I want to try getting a loan with a different bank.

Typically,
refinancing
involves working with a different lender, so refinancing with a new bank will be easy!
You can refinance with a new bank the same way you would refinance with anyone else: you need to gather the necessary documents and submit an application.
Make sure you have the following documents prepared before you start applying:
  • Recent statement from your current lender.
  • Information on your vehicle. Provide the car’s vehicle insurance number (VIN), make, model, and year.
  • Proof of income. You can verify you are employed by bringing recent pay stubs to show the new lender.
  • Proof of identification.
Be sure to shop around with multiple lenders to find the best rate on your new loan. As you shop with lenders, communicate your interest in longer loan terms so they can approximate your new interest rate before you sign.
Shopping for low rates with multiple lenders takes time. If you want help, try using the

Hopefully, your new loan will match your financial needs!
