How long do car loan approvals take?
How long will I have to wait for my car loan approval? I’m worried that I might not get approved because I’ve been waiting for a while now.

Different lenders will take different amounts of time to approve a
car loan
, but it will usually take about a week from application to get approved. Here’s what to expect from different types of lenders:- Online lenders will usually take one business day to one week to approve a loan.
- Dealerships will generally approve loans the same day, although it could take a few business days.
- Banks and credit unions can take anywhere from one business day to a few weeks to approve a loan depending on whether you’re a new customer and their loan backlogs.
For a more exact estimate on approval time, talk to your lender of choice to learn more about how long you can expect to wait.
