Editorial policy
Our editorial work aims to make vehicle-backed credit understandable without suggesting that borrowing is suitable for every reader. We use desk research and identify the limits of what the available material supports.
Facts checked: 2026-11-06.
Sources and verification
We prioritize official product disclosures, issuer explanations, government consumer resources, and the text of relevant laws and regulations. Product descriptions are checked against the relevant product's official material, rather than an affiliate listing or a general description of a provider.
Our Yendo research uses the Auto Card page, how-it-works explanation, FAQs, and locations page. An official source can still contain inconsistent statements. If material conflicts, we avoid presenting a disputed term as settled and direct readers to the current issuer disclosures before acceptance.
A citation identifies the source of a statement. It does not mean we have tested a product or verified a reader's eligibility. Access to a source also does not establish that its terms will remain unchanged.
Separate product categories
A revolving vehicle-equity-secured credit card must be described as a card. We do not label Yendo Auto Card a title loan or personal loan. Vehicle title loans have a different repayment structure and receive separate risk explanations.
Auto-loan refinancing replaces an existing loan. We keep refinance coverage distinct from card comparisons, including when reviewing a provider's combined card and refinance description. A combined marketing page does not make the obligations interchangeable.
Costs, eligibility, and disclosure checks
We check whether a statement applies to the specific product and whether its state eligibility is established. Readers must verify current official issuer disclosures for APR, annual fee, transaction and other fees, security interest, and repayment terms before accepting. Where official sources disagree about costs, we direct readers to current issuer disclosures rather than present a disputed figure as settled.
Federal disclosure provisions include Regulation Z, 12 CFR 1026.6 and 1026.60, and TILA, 15 USC 1632. These address account and card disclosures, including applicable costs and security interests, and clear presentation of required information. This editorial explanation is not legal advice.
Independence and limits on claims
Commissions and payouts do not determine commentary, selection, or order. Paid placement does not determine rankings. We do not currently use ratings, including star scores or numerical product scores.
We do not promise approval, eligibility, or a credit score improvement. We do not treat a preliminary indication as final approval. Our coverage is based on published sources, not personal borrowing experience or account testing. Articles are attributed to the CarEquityCompare editorial team.
No commercial offer link is currently active. Our commercial disclosure explains the conditions under which a future link could create a commercial relationship.
Corrections
Send correction requests by post using the contact instructions. Identify the page and statement and supply an official source where possible. Do not include private account records. We assess the statement against relevant evidence and correct supported errors; a request does not guarantee a change or a reply within a particular period. Product terms can change. Check current issuer disclosures before accepting credit.
Vehicle risk and free official help
Our editorial coverage treats repossession as a material borrowing risk; the About page explains vehicle risk and provides free official help resources.
