CUAC

ABOUT US

WHO WE ARE

For over 22 years now, CUAC has been working with Credit Unions all over the country to establish a responsible point-of-sale indirect lending program.  Are you losing your members’ auto financing at the dealership; or, are you on a 3RD party software platform outside of Dealertrack or RouteOne and losing market share?  If so, let CUAC show you how to harness industry-leading technology to build an indirect program that will allow your Credit Union to compete with captive finance companies, national and regional banks and other top tier lenders.

CUAC offers a robust suite of products that enable your Credit Union to utilize a menu-based approach to select only the services needed. If your institution requires assistance with underwriting, dealer representation, fulfillment, processing or compliance, let us come up with a custom solution that fits your needs.  Indirect solutions are never a one size fits all.  CUAC will work closely with your lending team to provide the tools and services you need at a competitive price.

REVIEWS FROM CLIENTS

Larry Lemoine
Larry Lemoine VP of Lending at Baton Rouge Telco FCU
"CUAC has been an invaluable indirect provider for Baton Rouge Telco CU since 2006. They have played an integral role in our credit union's ability to build our loan portfolio and vastly increase membership while keeping delinquencies and charge-offs at a minimum."
Robert A. Brant
Robert A. Brant CEO of Keystone Lending Alliance
CUAC provided our company with a turn-key loan platform and support that enabled us to open for business much quicker than we could have done on our own. This meant hundreds of additional loans and income to our CUSO that allowed us to be productive and profitable out of the gate! They continue to provide excellent customer support that helps KLA keep our credit unions, and dealers satisfied. We look forward to many more years of collaboration with our partner, CUAC, in providing credit unions with unparalleled service and support!"
Annette Zimmerman
Annette Zimmerman CEO Primeway FCU
CUAC has been a valued PrimeWay partner for many years. They have provided us with options that have strengthened ongoing relationships with local dealers and enabled us to manage our own underwriting. The excellent service provided by our CUAC partners has resulted in loan growth and enhanced member service.”
Jeffrey J. McClain
Jeffrey J. McClain CEO Golden Circle CU
Many vendors claim that they will be your credit union’s business partner and that their goal is your success. But often, these claims last only until the ink dries on the contract. That is why it is refreshing to find an organization like CUAC. They have been a true business partner of Golden Circle CU since 2004. Over the last 14 years, we have booked millions of dollars in loans, provided added convenience to our existing members and been given thousands of opportunities to prove the credit union difference to new members brought in through the program. The CUAC team continually strives to ensure that we truly feel valued as a partner and that the success and satisfaction of Golden Circle are as important as the success of CUAC.”
Chad Miller, CCUFC, CUCE
Chad Miller, CCUFC, CUCE President and CEO of Southwest Louisiana Credit Union

Jessie Rodriguez President and CEO of Cal-Com Federal Credit Union
“For almost 20 years now, Cal-Com Federal CU has counted on CUAC to provide indirect lending services for our credit union.

We are looking forward to the next 20 years and will rely upon CUAC to assist with Cal-Com’s key lending strategies.“
Angie Anderson

The technology and professional products they provide CULS allow our CUSO to service our dealer and credit union clients more effectively. The customer support my team receives is unparalleled which is extremely important to me.

Chris Hay
Chris Hay President and CEO of Dannemora Federal Credit Union
“CUAC has become a key component of Dannemora Federal CU’s overall lending strategy since we joined their indirect lending program in 2017.

CUAC has created and managed very supportive relationships with the dealers in our market that will pay dividends for years to come.“
Rocky Hinojosa
Rocky Hinojosa AVP of Plus4 Credit Union
“I have been working with the CUAC team throughout the last 15 years of my credit union career.

Our membership demands convenience when shopping for a vehicle. CUAC allows us to capture their loans at the point of sale using all of the latest technology.“
Steve Branstetter
Steve Branstetter Executive Vice President of People’s Trust Federal Credit Union
“People’s Trust Federal Credit Union has been an owner in the CUSO since 2003. In that time, our indirect requirements have evolved; however, CUAC has been able to adapt and meet our needs at each step. We continue to rely upon CUAC to deliver quality loans to our credit union and provide the convenience our members demand.“
Craig Atkinson
Craig Atkinson President and CEO of Houston Highway Credit Union
“As one of the original founders of the CUSO, I have seen the growth of CUAC over the last two decades and the impact they’ve had on the indirect lending market in Houston. 22 years later, I continue to rely upon them for adding quality loans to our portfolio and help us capture our member loans at the dealership.“

Steve Piekarski
Steve Piekarski Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer
“Our almost five year affiliation with CUAC has allowed ProFed to enter the indirect auto market without any adverse influence on our credit union’s historically low delinquency or charge-off experience. CUAC understands the credit union mindset. From top to bottom, their management and employees have been respectful of the way our credit union does business. They have shown themselves to be responsive and have not, at all, taken ProFed’s business for granted. In that, CUAC’s underwriting, operational integrity and dealer relations hold my trust.”
