Last Wednesday night I applied for membership with PenFed and opened an account. I setup my online access, and then immediately applied for a car loan online.

After entering in all the required information and hiting submit, I immediately got feedback that I had been approved for the loan.

Thursday morning I called PenFed and told the lady I had been approved the night before. She verified my account information and identity. Then I provided her with the sellers name and the VIN number of the car I was purchasing. She went through some questions and answers and the check for purchase was ready for issue. We funded my account with enough money to have it shipped via FedEx overnight and Friday morning at work I had the check for the purchase of my new vehicle.
