Vehicle Loan FAQ from the Experts!
This month, I’m excited to work with Amrita Prasad, VP of Consumer Lending at UNCLE Credit Union, for our Local Authority series.
We’re talking about auto loan refinancing, especially for anyone wondering if their current car loan still makes sense. Here are two frequently asked questions you may be wondering about!
Question: What if my credit score has changed since I purchased my vehicle?
Answer: If your credit score is higher than when you first bought the car, you may qualify for a better rate.
Question: How long will it take to refinance?
Answer: Submitting the application takes just a few minutes. From there, timelines can vary, but as a credit union with local decision-making, turnaround times are often faster—and in some cases, applications can be finalized within one business day.
At UNCLE Credit Union, you’ll work with a real person, get expert advice, and choose from lending products designed to work in your best interest. Click here for more info!
10 Days Until the Alameda County Fair!
The Alameda County Fair opens in less than 10 days, and this is your reminder that the best savings happen before the gates open.
You can save up to 20% online during the Fair’s Advance Sale on admission tickets, carnival wristbands, Wine Fest tickets, season passes, and more.
The Fair kicks off on June 19, but these deals end June 18 at midnight.
If the Fair is on your summer list, now is the time to grab tickets and save a little before all the fun begins.

I love Culinary Angels and the work they do in our community.
Throughout June, several local restaurants and community partners are donating a portion of their proceeds to help Culinary Angels continue providing organic, nutrient-rich meals to cancer patients and caregivers.
