Yes, but joining is easy. If you meet all the eligibility requirements, you can open a free checking account online and start immediately.

How much can I borrow to buy a car?

Your credit score, income, expenses, and down payment all factor into your auto loan financing. So, we always recommend getting pre-approved before you make an offer.

Yes, you can pay off your loan when it’s convenient for you with no prepayment penalties.

How can I figure out how much my monthly payments will be?

Our monthly payment calculator will provide a general idea. Applying for a loan gives you the exact amount plus the bargaining power of auto loan pre-approval.

I had an amazing experience with Christopher ! He went above and beyond considering my auto loan, and did it with much patience. He explained the process thoroughly & made it easy! (Not to mention the back and fourth with the insurance & the car dealership to get everything correct <3)

I had a very good experience obtaining a car loan recently at the Commerce St. Bank. The Loan Rep was Christopher Pflaum. He was affable, explained everything, was knowledgeable and kind. He is an asset to your organization!

When I started teaching at John Jay HS in 1972, I got my first car loan from a founder of the CU, Herb Wittels, at his office on the front porch of his home on Rt. 52. Memories!
