††Average monthly payment savings of $191 per month was calculated based on the average monthly payments offered to PenFed members compared to their prior average monthly payments between Jan 1, 2023 and Mar 23, 2023. Each applicant's savings may depend on each applicant's new interest rate, term, and/or third party fees. For example, an applicant has a current vehicle loan with an amount of $24,227, an interest rate of 4.62%, loan term of 60 months, and monthly payment of $453. If that applicant refinances with PenFed for an amount of $24,227 an interest rate of % and loan term of 72 months, that member would have a monthly payment of approximately $399, and their average monthly payment savings would be $54. Your savings may be different.
