HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. -

More than 300,000 additional credit union members might be using GrooveCar’s platform to make a vehicle purchase.

The buying resource enjoyed another busy quarter and signed up 25 new partners in Q3.

“GrooveCar puts the platform in the hands of members, literally. Shop from any place at any time. Credit unions on the program realize 82 percent of members do their research through third-party sites. Without offering an auto buying service, credit unions risk missing out on auto loan growth opportunities,” said Robert O’Hara, vice president of strategic alliances at GrooveCar.
