What`s Your Real Rate???

What’s Your Real Rate???
If you’re in the market for a new vehicle, you’re going to like what you see. Auto makers have
stepped up with amenities, advanced technologies, and safety features. All you need now
is a great rate to go with that great new vehicle.
While other financial institutions try to lure you in with their “as low as” rate, when you
read the fine print, you’ll find that you have to jump through hoops to get that rate. For
example, you may need to use automatic payment, or finance for a shorter period of
time, or your vehicle may have to be over a certain amount to qualify for that “as low as” rate.
At Argent, our low-rate vehicle loans come with no gimmicks. Our lowest rate of 1.99% APR* is good
for up to 63 months with no discounts required! Do you have less than perfect credit? We still offer
competitive low-rates, up to 63 months, again with no hoops to jump through!
So don’t fall for the “as low as” rate until you actually read the fine print. To find out what the payment
would be on a vehicle you’re interested in, use the loan calculator on the vehicle loans page of our website,
www.ArgentCU.org. While you’re there, go ahead and apply for a loan. It’s quick, easy and convenient!
Argent Is Different
Argent offers many of the same services you find at other financial
institutions. However, our fees and borrowing rates are lower, and
savings rates higher, because as a credit union, we are a not-forprofit financial cooperative. Simply put, profit-driven financial
institutions like banks must make money to pay stockholders.
Since we don’t have stockholders to pay, ALL credit union
members benefit from the credit union’s financial success.
Wouldn’t you want your family and friends to keep more of their
hard-earned money like you? Invite them to become a member
at Argent by joining online at www.ArgentCU.org. Argent Is
Different – we’re better than a bank!
*APR = Annual Percentage Rate.
The Season of Giving

this season even more.
1. Take that winter
break and go

2. Purchase that new
pet your kids have
been wishing for.
3. Renovate that extra room for out-of-town family and/or guest.
4. Purchase that one-of-a-kind engagement ring for the big

5. Update those old appliances that are on their last leg.

that perfect gift. Apply online at www.ArgentCU.org for an
affordable loan today.
Take a Skip-A-Pay Holiday
Let’s face it, this is the time of year when you can use a little extra
cash. Skip-A-Payment on your auto or personal loan and take a
month off. It’s easy! Simply complete the Skip-A-Payment form
on our website and send it in. Visit us online
for more details or
to get started.
Bring your family members out to visit any of our branches on
Thursday, October 17th, which is International Credit Union
Day. We’d love the opportunity to meet them personally and
show them how Argent can make a difference in their lives.
We’ll serve refreshments at each of our locations that day and
look forward to seeing you then.
