Resources and Discounts

Car Buying Information:

Some of the first things on your mind when you decide to buy a new car are probably the size, color, and feel of the vehicle. But there are other factors you need to consider to make sure you're getting what's right for you. We've partnered with Balance Pro to help provide our members with financial resources. They've developed Financial Fitness Minute, which is a short video checklist of what you need to consider before buying a vehicle. Click here to view the video.

Fuel Guide:

You've picked your dream car, but now you have to keep it fueled and running! The cost of fuel is an important factor of owning your own car, and can be a major part of structuring a monthly budget. But how can you know how much a new car will cost you at the pump? The U.S. Department of Energy has compiled a website to help provide information on fuel economy.

GAP Protection:

If you're dealing with a car accident or theft where your vehicle is declared a total loss, or auto insurance may cover the replacement value. But if you were still making payments on that vehicle, you are still liable for any difference between the insurance settlement and the remaining loan balance. Bay Atlantic FCU offers GAP insurance to help cover that difference so you don't end up paying for a car you no longer have. Out GAP insurance is competitively priced and almost half the cost of a car dealership's. Speak with a lending representative for more information!
