LAS VEGAS – Reducing the time it takes to get a "yes" answer on a new auto loan should be a key goal for credit unions in 2015, CU Direct President/CEO Tony Boutelle (pictured) and Intuvo President and Co-Founder Jeff Shood told CU Times Thursday at the Drive '15: CU Direct Lending & Marketing Conference Thursday in Las Vegas, Nev.
Boutelle and Shood, who recently announced CU Direct's acquisition of Intuvo, a Scotts Valley, Calif.-based provider of marketing automation software, discussed goals for their organization, the impact of Drive '15 and the biggest challenges credit unions face in the auto lending space.
Intuvo's platform allows credit unions to easily cross-sell products to members acquired through indirect loans using personalized messages and multiple channels, including mobile push notifications, text messages, email and direct mail, Shood explained, adding that the multi-channel format will help credit unions attract more millenials. Boutelle said the partnership ties in beautifully with CU Direct's mission of helping credit unions make more loans and improve their efficiency.
