Who Are We?

Created with the car buying public in mind, United Auto Credit has become a leader in the automotive finance industry. When other’s say “no”, United Auto Credit says “yes” because we believe everyone deserves the chance at vehicle ownership – regardless of their credit history.

Combining cutting edge technology, hard work and old-fashioned common sense, United Auto Credit has developed programs – from First Time Buyers to our Bankruptcy program – that enable us to approve customers across the credit spectrum. In short, what we call our Common Sense program serves as the foundation of our corporate vision today and into the future.

UACCares

Driven to make a difference is not just a tagline or catchphrase, it’s our everyday mantra.

We believe in making a difference at work and outside of work, with our dealers and with each other. Most of all we believe in making a difference within our company and our community.

UACCares was created because at United Auto Credit®, we believe it’s important to give back. UACCares brings our team closer together with one goal in mind, giving back to the community. UACCares encourages team members and their families to volunteer and make a difference with various charitable causes. It’s an honor for us to be able to support the communities where we live and work to become even stronger and unified – One Team One Vision.

We are United Auto Credit®, we are UACCares and we are driven to make a difference.
