Do I have to be a member of a credit union to use AutoBranch?
No. If you do not currently belong to a credit union, AutoBranch will attempt to qualify you for one of our participating credit unions. If we can't qualify you for a credit union, you must arrange for your own financing.
Can a member purchase with cash or finance with another financial institution other than their credit union?
