Even though our auto loan application is fully digital, you will be required to upload a few documents to keep the process moving forward and finalize your loan. The exact requirements can vary depending on whether you’re purchasing a vehicle or refinancing your current loan, so we’ve put together a simple checklist to help you know what to expect.
