HOUSTON, July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Auto Financial Group (AFG), announced today that the integration between CU*Answers, a Credit Union Service Organization (CUSO) and a cooperative corporation headquartered and incorporated in Grand Rapids, Michigan and the AFG Residual Value and Payment Quoting calculator is live.

CU*Answers' integration with Auto Financial Group allows balloon loan and member data to seamlessly flow between CU*Base, the CUSO's core processing platform, and the AFG Calculator and enables automatic updates to balloon loan applications in CU*Base directly from the AFG Calculator, streamlining the loan origination process.

The integration will further provide greater efficiency in implementing AFG's Balloon Lending Program for financial institutions using CU*Base and ensure that all loan documentation remains synchronized and up to date across both systems.

"We are thrilled that the integration between the AFG Calculator and the CU*Base loan origination system is live," said Amy Buchinger, Director of Member Services and Lending at Frankenmuth Credit Union. "This integration will streamline our workflow by eliminating the need to switch between platforms and automatically importing information. This enhancement not only saves time and reduces human error but also allows our team to focus on serving our members' needs effectively."

This partnership underscores AFG's commitment to making its "Walk-Away" Balloon Lending and Leasing programs more accessible to financial institutions nationwide, meeting the growing consumer demand for lower auto payments. Through our collaboration with CU*Answers, AFG's innovative programs are now easier to access and implement within CU*Answers' network of financial institutions.
