Loan growth sparks auto remarketing need

With the increase of job growth and consumer confidence so far in 2015, it is clear that the economy is moving swiftly in the right direction. According to CUNA Mutual Group’s Chief Economist Steve Rick in his February trend report video, we are currently experiencing a self-sustaining economic expansion period where several credit union factors are positively accelerating such as national loan and membership growth. In fact, Rick reported that credit union loan growth reached .08 percent in January—which may lead to annual growth of over 10 percent at the end of 2015.

The catalyst for recent loan growth has been the demand for new auto loans. Although this is a welcomed change for credit union balance sheets, the need for remarketing repossessed used vehicles is starting to surface. Since new vehicles are receiving so much attention, remarketing programs are emerging as a tool to alleviate used vehicles through auctions.
