Maine Cars was developed as a car shopping program to help Credit Union members with the challenging process of buying a new or pre-owned automobile.
Today, nearly 90% of car buyers visit the internet before shopping for their next vehicle; the number of millennials doing this is even greater. As a result, members are exposed to multiple finance competitors during their online research on many car shopping websites, which increases the chances of a Credit Union losing member loans. The key to helping retain your current member auto loans is to start by offering the Maine Cars service from your Credit Union homepage. Maine Cars offers many great car shopping services, including:
