Credit unions constantly seek innovative ways to attract new members and retain and engage their existing ones. One area where credit unions have a significant opportunity to excel is in the auto loan market. With the rise of online research and car shopping, credit unions must adapt to changing member behaviors and preferences to stay competitive. Member Auto Center (MAC) is a dynamic solution that empowers credit unions to offer their members a car-buying experience while boosting their auto loan portfolio. MAC’s primary objective is simple yet transformative: to provide credit union members with a comprehensive car shopping program that alleviates the challenges often associated with buying new or pre-owned vehicles and help credit union retain and grow their auto loans.
The Digital Transformation of Car Buying
Information is at our fingertips in today’s digital age, and the car buying process is no exception. According to recent statistics, 9 out of 10 car buyers initiate their journey by accessing the internet, a number that significantly increases among millennials. As potential car buyers scour the web for information, they are inevitably exposed to numerous finance competitors vying for their attention. This heightened exposure poses a challenge for credit unions, as it can lead to member loans slipping through the cracks. The solution lies in embracing technology and offering online tools that align with what members seek when shopping for their next vehicle. By integrating these tools into their credit union homepage, credit unions can position themselves as comprehensive resources that provide financial solutions and guide members through the entire car buying process.
