How it works

Refinancing swaps your existing car loan for a new one with a better rate or term. The car stays yours the whole time — only the lender changes.

  1. 1 · Application

    Five short screens: current loan, vehicle, about you, income, and a review with consent. Everything saves as you type, so you can walk away and come back.

  2. 2 · Soft credit pull

    We pull a soft inquiry to price your offers. Soft inquiries are invisible to other lenders and never lower your score.

  3. 3 · Offer selection

    You get term options side by side — 48, 60 and 72 months — with APR, monthly payment, and the savings against your current loan.

  4. 4 · Pre-qualification

    Confirm your preferred offer and submit your pre-qualification. A lending specialist will follow up to finalize the terms and collect any remaining documents.

  5. 5 · Loan closing

    Once your application is finalized, the new lender sends the payoff to your existing lender and files the new lien with your state DMV.

  6. 6 · First payment

    Your first Apex payment is due 45 to 90 days after closing. Autopay shaves another 0.25% off the rate.
