Whether your Credit Union has a direct loan or indirect lending relationship with local dealers, MAC’s web services help drive your member buyers to your preferred dealerships.
LOAN AGGREGATOR
With Member Auto Center your members can start their car shopping through you; this means identifying those members shopping for a car. Your loan department can now reach out to your members and pre-approve them before they reach the dealership, this provides your Credit Union the opportunity to capitalize on auto loans that may not otherwise have been.
CREATE A FEE INCOME SOURCE
Dealerships spend tens of thousands of dollars each month in advertising, with the hopes of enticing buyers to purchase an automobile from their dealership. With the Member Auto Center Program, your Credit Union can generate fee income from dealers, at a fraction of their traditional marketing costs, to drive pre-approved member buyers to their doorstep.
