What About the Banks?
Most major Canadian banks—like RBC, TD, Scotiabank, and BMO—do offer car loans. But here’s what they don’t tell you:
Their rates and approval decisions depend on things like:
Your credit score
How long you want to borrow
The age of the vehicle
Down payment amount
Whether it’s new or used
As of early 2025, most bank rates range from 6.99% to 9.99%—but only if you check all their boxes.
That’s where things get tricky:
Banks tend to play it safe.
If your credit isn’t spotless, you could end up with a higher rate—or no approval at all.
✅ Elm Auto works differently. We focus on finding solutions, not reasons to say no. Whether your credit is strong, recovering, or brand new—we’ll help you find a lender that sees your potential.
