FAQs - General FAQ

Simple interest is a way of allocating monthly loan payments between the principal and interest. The amount of your loan payment that is allocated to interest is based on the unpaid portion of the principal balance, the interest rate on your loan, and the number of days since your last payment. For example, if we receive a payment 20 days since your last payment, you will then be charged 20 days of interest on the unpaid principal balance of your loan. The rest of your payment is credited to the principal which reduces the unpaid principal balance on your loan.

Vehicle loans originated with State Farm Bank®, now owned by one of the following State Farm companies: EMVLP, LLC, EMVLP II, LLC, or EMVLP II LLC d/b/a EMVLP II PLLC, are simple interest loans. Simple interest calculations are used for installment loans:

  • The remaining principle is multiplied by the interest rate to calculate the total interest for one year.
  • The annual interest is divided by the number of the days in the year to calculate the interest per day.
  • The interest per day is multiplied by the number of days between payments to calculate the amount due each payment.

Example:

  • A $20,000 loan at 8.49% APR = $1698.00 (annual interest)
  • $1698.00 / 365 = $4.652 (daily interest)
  • $4.652 x 30 = $139.56 (monthly interest)
  • However, the first month the loan is due, $4.652 would be multiplied by the number of days from the date the funds are disbursed to the date the payment is processed.

In most states, the loan owner holds the title to a vehicle. However, in title-holding states you hold the title to your vehicle with our lien on it. A few states have an electronic title that the state retains electronically.

If the loan owner holds the title or the creditor has a lien on the title, it will be released to you on the 10th business day after the payoff is received, processed, and all other conditions are satisfied. Please allow for normal mail time.

Note: If you live in a state that retains titles electronically, time frames may vary.

A lien release removes a loan owner as holder of the security interest in a vehicle on a title, generally after the loan is paid off.
