Hey MT,
I just bought a new Jeep today and financed it through a local credit union (TVA). I was offered 1.69%... My question is how can they even possibly make any money with such a low rate??? I understand their cost of capital is much lower than commercial banks... But damn!!!

They usually make their money through a fee they charge to the dealer.

when you pay .001 on savings accounts it is easy to do the math

FYI this isn't true. On a prime loan like this the lender would be paying the dealer a small fee, subprime loans get discounted.
The dealer likely isn't involved here though since it was a local credit union.

Low overhead
No need to pay shareholders
No profit motive
Plus, the interest they are paying out is so low.
