HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. - July 31, 2017 - PRLog -- It's been an exciting year for GrooveCar's automotive online buying program. Growth in 2Q continues with 22 new credit union partners joining and launching their programs. This is great news as credit unions continue to form relationships with new and existing members and borrowers continue to come back for the same or new products. Providing new and efficient ways for obtaining auto related information keeps member interest high. Credit unions are building up huge auto lending portfolios and members are expected to sell or trade up during 2017, leading to more volume. "GrooveCar provides a resource that can meet the online buying needs of members who look for a new vehicle, research trade-in values or buy a pre-owned vehicle, from one location. It's vital to capture member interest and provide a positive loan and shopping experience. It's a one-stop shop. Credit unions realize they have precious seconds to serve members and direct them to where they need to go in auto buying. The platform delivers on all fronts," explains Robert O'Hara, Vice President of Strategic Alliances, GrooveCar Inc.

The online program continues to provide credit unions with an online advantage through engagement and convenience features, recent upgrades include: Market Value Pricing letting members know what other consumers are paying; Finance Calculator that offers an option for credit unions to include life and disability insurance and GAP products into the monthly payment; and Cloud Storage allowing credit unions to access through a password protected log-in their customized marketing support materials.

Powerful tools that help credit unions connect with members and auto dealerships while harnessing cooperative buying power are some of the key elements of its success. Credit unions joining the program realize the host of options available to them, continuous support and the easy launch process make for a wonderful ongoing relationship with GrooveCar. "In addition to the marketing and online tools, GrooveCar also provides IT and dealer representatives to increase success," explains O'Hara.
