 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 credit unions, like GTE FCU, the ability to capture loans that dealers previously satisfied using auto manufacturer or bank supported leasing/balloon financing.

Under the agreement, GTE FCU will offer AFG's Driving Sense(TM) program at the member's point of sale - the dealership finance department. Together, GTE FCU and AFG will increase the financing options that are available to GTE FCU'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 MILEAGE. A compensation allowed by law to officers, for their trouble and expenses in travelling on public business.
