CU Automates Decisioning

Houston-based Credit Union Acceptance Corp. has implemented APPRO Systems Inc.'s automated decisioning system, LoanCenter Consumer.The application and decisioning process was completely manual before using this application, CUAC said. Dealers were required to fax in applications, which were manually entered and decisioned. CUAC said it worked with seven credit unions in the Houston area before implementation of the new system and funded approximately 50 loans per month. Now it works with 60 credit unions in eight states and funds more than 3,500 loans per month, the company reported. Approximately 88% of applications submitted to CUAC in 2004 were input via the new application.
