Make sure we have your current cell phone number in case our card monitoring system calls/texts you to verify a purchase. Located under Card Controls > Manage Card.

Record high prices hit dealerships! Dealership inventory (new & used) has been low and prices are now at an all time high, especially for used vehicles.
“As you navigate these turbulent times, there are things that you, as a consumer, need to reflect upon until the market returns to normal. If you really need a different vehicle at this time, don’t overspend. It may sound okay to increase payments by $40-$50, but is it absolutely necessary? Most importantly, if a dealer is offering you less in trade than what is owed on your current car, do not transfer it to your new car loan without carefully considering why you are doing so, and the financial impact.” - Mike Pastorelli, Auto Buying Specialist: 920-993-3508
