Three credit unions have been added to the AIL-Ohio auto financing network, which is jointly owned by Aimbridge Indirect Lending, the OCUL Services Corp. and several Ohio credit unions.

Heartland Federal Credit Union of Dayton, Harvest Federal Credit Union of Heath and Parish Federal Credit Union of Toledo, recently joined AIL-Ohio as new indirect lending customers.

"AIL-Ohio's dealer connection and Aimbridge's relationship management with the dealers greatly influenced our decision," said Kelly Schermerhorn, president and CEO of Harvest FCU, $22 million in assets.

"AIL-Ohio's program sparked our interest in starting an indirect lending program because it provides all of the best resources," said Mike Davis, credit manager for Heartland FCU, $60 million in assets. "AIL-Ohio's program with Aimbridge technology allows our credit union to offer better services to our members. Our members can attain loans directly from the dealers without the hassle of making a separate trip to the credit union, and our employees are allocated more time to spend on other credit union matters."

The OCUL Services Corp. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Ohio Credit Union League.
