When you are introduced to AutoMoney Trust through a broker or dealer, the broker may receive a commission for arranging your finance. UK regulation requires that this is disclosed before you sign your agreement, and the amount or method of calculation should appear in the documents you receive. AutoMoney Trust uses fixed-rate commission structures that do not increase your interest rate based on the broker's earnings. If you would like to understand how commission may apply to your specific hire purchase agreement, check the pre-contract information or contact us directly.
For an AutoMoney Trust car finance application, you may be asked to provide proof of identity such as a valid UK driving licence or passport, proof of income such as recent payslips or bank statements, proof of address dated within the last three months, and details of the vehicle if you have already chosen one. Self-employed applicants may need to provide additional documentation such as SA302 forms or business accounts. Having these documents ready before applying helps speed up the decision and reduces back-and-forth requests.
AutoMoney Trust hire purchase agreements include one standard fee: paid alongside your first monthly payment an Option to Purchase Fee of £199, only payable at the end of the agreement if you decide to keep the car. Both fees are detailed in your agreement. Additional charges, such as reminder letter fees or default interest, may apply if payments are missed, full details are listed in our arrears fees and default interest schedule. AutoMoney Trust does not charge early repayment fees if you choose to settle your agreement ahead of schedule.
A fixed rate keeps your interest rate and monthly payments the same throughout your agreement, giving you predictable costs from start to finish. A variable rate can rise or fall during the term, usually tracking the Bank of England base rate or the lender's standard variable rate, which means your payments can go up or down. AutoMoney Trust offers fixed interest rates only, so you know exactly what you will pay each month. Fixed rates provide certainty but may start slightly higher than introductory variable rates; the trade-off is protection from future rate rises.
