Continuing a three-decade relationship of supporting the auto financing endeavors of its credit union partners, Enterprise Car Sales calculated that it generated close to $500 million in loan volume to nearly 28,000 credit union members during 2015.

Officials highlighted recent reports that show credit unions are steadily gaining market share in auto financing. They added that credit union membership is on the rise across the country, and used-vehicle auto loans at credit unions have seen an almost 14 percent increase compared to a year ago.

Enterprise Car Sales said it is further supporting this growth through tailored used-vehicle buying programs that are meant to create opportunities for credit unions to increase their used-vehicle loan portfolio and optimize member loyalty.

In fact, Enterprise Car Sales determined that it has helped generate almost $10 billion in loan volume during the last 30 years with more than a thousand credit union partners nationwide.

"We are very appreciative of the mutually beneficial relationships we have built with credit unions in our local communities," said Beth Wheeler, corporate director of business development at Enterprise Car Sales.

“We gain increased exposure to new customers through their referrals, and in return, we refer their members back to them for financing,” Wheeler continued. “With more consumers turning to credit unions for their auto loans, we expect these partnerships to continue to flourish in the coming year.”

Strong credit union partnerships are a driving force behind the overall growth of the Enterprise Car Sales network.

In 2015, Enterprise Car Sales made a significant investment in its facilities, including opening three new locations in Burnsville, Minn., East Syracuse, N.Y., and Cranberry Township, Pa. The company also relocated six locations to enhanced facilities.

“Enterprise's integrity in sales and service has made them a great partner for us," said Darin Woinarowicz, chief executive officer of Arrowhead Credit Union in southern California.

“Our team looks forward to referring our members to Enterprise because we know they are going to have a great experience. It’s a great way to do business,” Woinarowicz went on to say.
