## Key points

- AUTOPAY connects borrowers with lenders to refinance car loans.
- A hypothetical 12% to 8% refinance saves about $48 monthly.
- Longer terms lower payments but can increase total interest.

## Summary

AUTOPAY advertises a car-loan refinancing service that connects borrowers with banks, credit unions and other lenders. Refinancing could lower monthly payments for people whose credit or available interest rates have improved, potentially freeing up money for other expenses.

Applicants can provide details online or by phone, receive an initial prequalification check that uses a soft credit inquiry, and complete the process electronically without an application fee. For qualified applicants, loan amounts range from $2,500 to $100,000, with terms of 24 to 96 months. In a hypothetical example, refinancing a $25,000 balance from 12% to 8% over 48 months cuts the payment by about $48 a month and remaining interest by about $2,305; extending the new loan to 72 months lowers the payment to around $438 but increases total interest.
