Partnering with a great organization like this is a tremendous opportunity to showcase our value across North and South Dakota. DakCU truly understands the needs of their member credit unions and is very client-centric, with makes us like-minded partners,” he explained.

McDonald continues, “We have had similar solutions offered to our member credit unions in the past, but CRIF Select is offering a better product and a trusted relationship both for the credit unions and the dealer networks in our states. We work closely with other league service corps to find solutions that will benefit our member credit unions, and the Ohio League Service Corp is one of those trusted partners. We know that credit unions desire to expand their loan portfolios and add new members, and a qualified well-run indirect lending program can greatly assist on that path. With the pandemic continuing to affect in-person efficiencies as well as the
available supply of autos, this new partnership should enhance the car buying experience, offering an alternative efficient way for credit unions to continue to serve their members needs. For more information on CRIF Select or to set up a demo please contact me ” he concluded.
