SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Point West CU is the first credit union to integrate Autoland's new car buying application into its own "Auto Center" Web site.

The new application from Autoland, the largest credit union car-buying service representing more than eight million members, is designed to support a CU's dealer partners by aggregating their inventory and providing consistent service levels. At the same time, members can access the application from their CU's Web site, find vehicles they want to purchase, and arrange financing through their CU.

The application is co-branded with the CU's Web site. Before installing the application, members of Point West would click on a link on the CU's site to a separate Autoland-branded site. Now members click on "Auto Center" and "Find an Automobile" to connect with Autoland's application to research new and used cars, sell their old cars, calculate payments and even compare vehicles side-by-side.
