First-Time Auto Loan


If you've never owned a car before, we've got advice and guidance to help you get started. At O Bee, it is possible to apply for an auto loan without an established credit history.

We can consider a loan for first-time borrowers if you have been employed full-time for at least 90 days. For a first-time auto loan, we may be able to offer up to 6x your monthly gross salary.

Other ways to improve your chances of securing a first auto loan:

  • Make a down payment. A down payment works in two ways. It helps to improve the likelihood of approval, and it may serve to reduce your interest rate on the loan.
  • Build credit first. Consider applying for a secured credit card with O Bee to establish a good credit record, and prove you can handle the responsibilities of an auto loan.
  • Recruit a co-applicant or co-signer. Join forces with someone who has already established good credit, like a parent or spouse.

  • With a Visa Secured Credit Card, O Bee will report your payment history to the credit bureaus, allowing you to build or improve your credit history.
  • If you make on-time payments to all of your creditors and keep your balances low relative to credit limits, you will be on your way to establishing good credit and having greater financial freedom.
