Built for the credit union mission
A protection program that serves members at every level.
The member experience, employee experience, and program operating model should reinforce one another—so protection options feel like part of responsible lending, not a detached sales process.
Lending teams
Give employees the product knowledge, workflow guidance, and confidence to serve members clearly.

Create a governed program that reflects the mission, supports lending strategy, and can be improved over time.
Explore this area →Primary product focus
Start with the two protections most central to vehicle lending.
CU Finance Products is primarily focused on GAP and vehicle service contracts. Additional protection products can be considered when they meet a documented member need and fit the credit union’s approved portfolio.
Product structure, provider, administrator, availability, coverage, terms, exclusions, eligibility, jurisdiction, and credit union approval must be confirmed before presentation or launch.

Dynamics-based member education
Train employees to educate members—not sell to them.

Practical questions from credit union teams.
Does the program replace our LOS or underwriting process?+
No. The program is designed to support eligible product presentation, rating, contracting, training, and oversight. It does not replace the credit union’s loan origination system, underwriting policies, approval process, or compliance function.
Can every product connect to every lending platform?+
No universal integration is implied. Compatibility and available functionality are confirmed during technical discovery, then configured and tested before launch.
Is training a one-time event?+
No. The model combines role-specific on-demand learning, knowledge checks, manager visibility, live coaching, in-person support, and refreshers when products or procedures change.
How are product and compliance decisions made?+
The credit union retains decision-making authority and should review each program with its own legal and compliance advisors. Availability, terms, coverage, and eligibility vary.
