Gearing up for the summer car-buying season, Air Force Federal Credit Union has rolled out a social media strategy to promote auto loan rates as low as 1.49%, the lowest rate offered in the state of Texas.
As a creative way to inform borrowers of the competitive rate, which officially dropped April 15, Air Force FCU encourages folks to use the hashtag #FavoriteCar on social media to personalize and share their car experiences. The credit union is using both its Twitter and Facebook accounts to get the word out about the promotion.
