No Residual Risk to the Credit Union

The AFG Canada Business Lease is an open-ended, Terminal Rental Adjustment Clause (TRAC) lease.

• The lessee is responsible at lease end for any difference in realized market value and the residual value of the vehicle.
• The lessee is guaranteed a certain residual price for the lease when the lease ends.
• TRAC lease residuals are set with conservative industry standards, to put the business member in the best possible position at lease end.
• The credit union has no residual risk with a TRAC lease.

Tax-Oriented Lease and a Pre-Established Purchase Option

The AFG Canada TRAC lease provides a business with the tax benefits associated with leasing. The purchase option price is established at lease inception and the lessee can purchase the vehicle at lease end for the pre-established price.

No Down Payment Required

There is no down payment or security deposit required as part of the leasing program.

Simple Interest Calculation

Simple interest is the fairest lending calculation methodology which helps keep the member’s payoff balance lower.

Flexible Options

With AFG Canada’s business auto lease, the member has many options available; purchase and keep or purchase and sell at any time, lease again, trade-in at a dealer, or turn in at the end of the lease term.

Many lease programs still impose large penalties, even thousands of dollars if the lease is paid off early. With AFG Canada’s business lease, the member is only responsible for the current payoff at the credit union and a market competitive purchase option fee (as disclosed in the lease agreement) if he/she elects to end the lease early, plus any unamortized expenses.

No Cash Outlay for Taxes and Registration

Initial taxes and registration fees can be included in the capitalized cost of the vehicle. There is no up front taxation of the vehicle purchase price for the member to pay or for you to finance.

Lease-End Assistance

An AFG Canada customer service rep works with the member to advise them on their lease-end options and how to conclude their responsibilities.
