The GrooveCar Direct program represents the latest in financial technology, providing credit union partners with valuable insights on what their members are researching when looking to purchase a car. The customized auto-buying program allows members to research inventory by desired monthly payment, locate vehicles listed for sale, comparison shop different models, discover used car values and locate local dealerships. Access to these insights is a gamechanger for credit unions according to Robert O’Hara, VP Strategic Alliances at GrooveCar. He states, “Credit unions can now offer relevant content along the auto shopping process, while connecting to existing members like never before.”
When members begin the auto shopping process, they are spending an average of 108 days in market to purchase a vehicle1. This time is crucial for the credit union to engage and connect with these members. With GrooveCar Direct, credit unions can now reach their members throughout the entire auto shopping process, providing an enriched and trusting experience. As a result, credit unions are deepening their relationships with existing members, while providing an enhanced member experience.
