“Through GrooveCar Direct, these credit unions can offer members a seamless digital car shopping experience while creating new opportunities to generate auto loan leads and grow their lending portfolios,” the company said.

“The white-labeled platform gives members access to available vehicles from more than 15,000 participating dealerships through their credit union’s branded car shopping site, keeping the credit union connected throughout the vehicle shopping and financing journey,” GrooveCar Direct continued.

GrooveCar Direct also offers AutoPilot, an email marketing add-on that can help credit unions get more from their car shopping sites.

The GrooveCar Direct team can develop and execute custom-branded email campaigns designed to drive members back to the site, generate consistent traffic and create lending opportunities, without adding to the credit union’s marketing workload.

“As more of the car-buying process moves online, GrooveCar Direct helps credit unions compete for auto loans by reaching members before they secure financing elsewhere,” the company said.
