Irvine, California, March 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Origence, the leading lending technology solutions provider for credit unions, announced the expansion of its streamlined indirect auto financing solutions with eContracting for CUDL to help credit unions digitize the contract process for indirect auto financing. EContracting for CUDL is offered via

the CUDL platform, where dealers connect with credit unions for auto financing options, and it enhances the current efficiencies found within the SmartFund solution. It also integrates to the credit union’s Loan Origination System, such as arc OS, to streamline the processing experience for indirect auto loans. CUDL credit unions have collectively been the leading auto lenders in the country for four consecutive years.

“With members and dealers increasingly expecting a fast and seamless car-buying experience, now is the perfect time for credit unions to adopt solutions like eContracting,” said Tony Boutelle, CEO of Origence. “eContracting empowers credit unions to enhance their indirect auto financing programs by digitizing the contract process, improving efficiency and accuracy, and delivering faster loan processing times. By modernizing their operations, credit unions can strengthen dealer relationships, drive member satisfaction, and ensure long-term success in the auto financing market.”

Origence offers eContracting for CUDL to help credit unions overcome challenges related to manual contracts.

It optimizes tasks ranging from data validation to final funding, enhancing accuracy and operational efficiency while reducing errors and missing data.

Credit unions leveraging eContracting for CUDL can meet dealer demands for digital contracting, improving productivity and aligning contract details with lender requirements.
