Auto Lending
Bruce Callen, president of Teres Solutions, Austin, observed that the loan market of the past 12 to 18 months has been quite variable, depending on the region of the country. In some areas, indirect lending has been waning, causing a shift in focus to home equity. He said he "definitely" thinks margins and yields on indirect lending will get back in line.
"Just because of supply and demand, the spread will get back to about 4% from about 2%, where it has been over the last two years."
The reason: three or four years ago, only the major banks were able to receive loans electronically from auto dealers.
According to Callen, this capability now is offered to credit unions of any size by software from vendors such as Teres Solutions, meaning credit unions can instantly approve similar loans using software that examines credit and debt levels and automatically approves members for whichever loan they qualify.
