    stimulus for stronger financial results for the

How It Works
  • CUcorp contracts with a company to offer
    exclusive discount programs for credit union
    members. Current programs include GM, Chrysler,
    Ford and Sprint.

    directly and through individual state leagues and
    league service corporations.
  • Credit unions that want to participate must
    complete the enrollment form located on
    www.lovemycreditunion.org under sign-up under the
    partner center tab.
  • CUcorp provides free turn-key marketing materials
    to supporting credit unions to use in marketing
    the discounts to their members.
  • Members utilize the discounts saving money and
    increasing the value placed on credit union
    membership.

Opportunities for Credit Unions
  • Extremely positive press coverage that
    differentiates credit unions from other financial
    institutions by helping support U.S. jobs and our
    economy.
  • The member discounts provide real value to
    members versus gimmicks offered by other
    organizations.
  • Member enhancements provide credit unions a
    catalyst for membership and auto loan growth.
  • Opportunities to educate members on credit union
    loans and benefits over 0 financing associated
    with vehicle loans.
