 of a vehicle through third party insurance, AFG removes the financial risk of an auto loan to the credit union and empowers the credit union to compete with traditional loans and conventional leases.

Driving Sense(TM) offers organizations that deal with credit unions, like CUAC, the ability to capture loans that dealers previously satisfied using auto manufacturer or bank supported leasing/balloon financing.

Under the agreement, CUAC will offer AFG's Driving Sense(TM) program at the credit member's point of sale -- the dealership finance department. Together, CUAC and AFG will increase the financing options that are available to CUAC's dealer partners.

Credit unions benefit by receiving guaranteed predetermined residual values and third party insured, automatically generated loan documents, and no end-of-term hassles because AFG handles disposition of the vehicle.

Credit union members also benefit, with new and used vehicles qualifying for the program, no or low down payments, lower monthly payments, flexible terms and mileage plans, actual ownership of vehicle, and end-of-term options.

"Our partnership with CUAC is an exciting development," says Richard Epley, President of Auto Financial Group. "CUAC works with more than 1,500 auto dealerships across seven states, so this agreement quickly makes Driving Sense(TM) available to a large number of credit union members who are applying for vehicle financing."

"CUAC is excited about this new relationship with AFG," says Adrian Dominguez, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

. "The AFG balloon product provides the credit union member the payment flexibility that they desire in this increasing rate environment, and it also provides the credit union the opportunity to capture loans that they would have otherwise lost."

Under the agreement, CUAC will offer Driving Sense(TM) to its twelve owner credit unions in seven states, including Texas.
