"Credit unions have a long history as being the proving ground for consumer centric, innovative financial products," said Cynthia Campbell, director of innovation labs at Filene, "and partnering with the NCUF to test the viability of non-prime auto loans with mainstream financial institutions was a natural fit since their experience in working with low-to-moderate income consumers is extensive."
