Westerra CU partners with Open Lending to help serve the underserved

AUSTIN, Texas, May 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Open Lending (NASDAQ: LPRO) provides loan analytics, risk-based pricing, risk modeling, and default insurance to auto lenders throughout the United States. The company announced today that Westerra Credit Union, a $1.9 billion institution based in Denver, CO, has selected Open Lending’s Lenders Protection™ program to increase their auto loan volume and expand their reach within their community.

“Open Lending will help us better serve the underserved by allowing us to do more auto loans for members who typically might not find good financing options,” says Jared Dryer, VP of Consumer Lending for Westerra Credit Union.

Open Lending’s flagship product, Lenders Protection™, is a unique auto lending enablement platform. It utilizes proprietary data and advanced decisioning analytics to provide lenders with a powerful way to increase near and non-prime auto loan volumes, without adding significant risk to their auto loan portfolio. Lenders Protection™ allows auto lenders to model their specific overhead and funding costs and set a target ROA for their insured portfolio. The result is a profitable auto loan portfolio with carefully managed pricing and risk characteristics.

“Open Lending is honored to partner with Westerra Credit Union to bolster their mission to support the underserved in their community by offering fair and competitive rates,” said Open Lending’s chief revenue officer, Matt Roe. “We look forward to all that our partnership can accomplish.”
