MADISON, Wis. — CUNA Mutual Group and GrooveCar have announced a partnership that will allow CMG's Lenders Protection program to the credit union indirect lender's automated loan decisioning system to provide credit unions, members and dealers with immediate decisions on loans covered by Lenders Protection.

CMG said its partnership with GrooveCar, based in Hauppauge, N.Y., will help credit unions approve and book more loans and simplify and expedite the car buying process for members. Lenders Protection will integrate with AppTrac, GrooveCar's automated loan processing system.

Underwritten by CUMIS Insurance Society, Lenders Protection is a default insurance program that helps CUs book more near-prime loans automatically by mitigating the risk involved to CUs. GrooveCar currently provides indirect lending services and auto services to credit unions in the metro New York/Long Island region. Its plans include expanding nationwide.
