CUNA Mutual, ILT To Integrate
SALT LAKE CITY-Indirect Lending Technologies, L.L.C. (ILT) and CUNA Mutual Group have reached an agreement to integrate their two Internet-based systems.
ILT provides a system for managing indirect lending, including an automated underwriting system, Dealer Indirect Lending and Leasing System (DILLS). Lenders Protection, a joint venture between Open Lending, Inc. of Austin, Texas and CUNA Mutual, operates an online system that automates the approval and placement of default insurance on vehicle loans for its credit union clients.
"Integration of the two systems will enable a credit union to approve loans over a very broad spectrum of credit risk and to send an approval to the participating auto dealer through DILLS within a few minutes of receiving the application," according to Will McGregor, President of ILT.
