Why is Carvana's interest rate so much higher than my bank?

Carvana operates as a finance intermediary. They secure a base rate from their lending partners and then mark it up before passing it to you. That spread is a significant revenue source for the company. Banks and credit unions, by contrast, lend directly and typically offer lower rates because they are not adding an intermediary markup.
