Deposits are growing and you need more loans. Auto lending has long been a staple of the credit union movement, according to CUNA, auto loans make up nearly 30% of credit union's loan portfolios nationally. JD Powers and Associates reports that 70% of all auto loans are consummated at a dealership, further, 87% of all new vehicle loans close at a dealership. With banks and manufacturer's finance sources reentering the market (credit unions have lost significant market share since their high in early 2009), and on-line lenders striving for a niche, it is important that your members know that your credit union provides the convenience of providing your financing where they buy their cars and trucks.

This event is in conjunction with the CUNA Lending Council.

Just like in face-to-face classes, CUNA Webinars allow you to see and hear a presentation, ask questions of the instructor, and refer to handouts. You need only a speakerphone and computer with Internet connection. With a computer projection screen, it's easy to provide this training to a whole roomful of staff!

When you register for an event, the connection information will be e-mailed to you 24-48 hours before the event. If you are registering for an event the day it is being held, please call 800-356-9655, ext. 4249 or e-mail training@cuna.coop for assistance.
