Why a General Bank of Canada auto loan?

Peace of mind with a fixed interest rate

A GBC auto loan has a fixed rate of interest for the term of the loan. With a bank line of credit, you are subject to the risk of rising interest rates.

Keep your credit availability for unexpected needs

Your GBC auto loan is a separate credit facility used only for financing your vehicle. When you use your line of credit to finance your vehicle, you restrict the availability of your line of credit for other purposes.

Plan your budget around regular payments

A GBC auto loan is a fixed term contract with fixed payment amounts. Many lines of credit are Demand Loans where the provider can demand that you pay the loan in full at any time.

Prepay anytime

You can prepay a GBC loan anytime without penalty, just like a line of credit.

Know what you owe on your car

With a GBC loan, you will always know the exact amount you owe on your vehicle. If you use your line of credit, your vehicle financing is mixed up with all of your other financing needs (e.g., vacations, renovations, tuition, etc.) and you’ll never really know how much you still owe on the vehicle.

Control your cost of borrowing

An auto loan from GBC has a fixed cost of borrowing. With a line of credit, you could end up paying interest only, meaning you extend the length of loan which could dramatically increase your cost of borrowing.

Post only your car as security on the loan

With a GBC loan, the only collateral on the loan is the vehicle itself. If you put your vehicle on a line of credit, it may be wrapped up in a bundle of collateral for all of your bank loans. This may even include your home.
