Where lending innovation and credit unions converge

Lending without
applications.

Union Credit turns "apply" into "you're already approved." We put firm, pre-approved credit-union offers in front of tens of millions of consumers — exactly where their borrowing decisions happen.

Three lanes. One platform.

We meet consumers wherever a lending decision begins

Three distribution channels, one white-labeled enterprise platform — pick a lane to dive in.

What's at stake

Credit unions are losing ground to fintech disruptors

While the average credit-union member is 55, the average U.S. consumer is 37. Fintechs like SoFi are winning the next generation of borrowers at the moment of intent. Union Credit puts credit unions back in that moment.

The journey starts before the application

Borrowers are researching, comparing, and checking their options first.

They are not starting with an application. They are starting with questions about rates, eligibility, payments, and approval.

74% of borrowers compare at least three lenders before applying.

"Apply Now" asks for too much, too soon

Consumers will not commit when they still do not know what they qualify for.

A full application, hard credit pull, or membership requirement creates friction before the consumer has enough information to move forward confidently.

"Why would I apply if I don't even know what I'm eligible for?"
"I'm not tanking my credit for a maybe."
"Why fill out a full membership app before I know if I'll even be approved?"
Most consumers expect to see approval likelihood or personalized terms before completing an application.
A majority say they will not proceed if a hard credit pull is required just to see options.
Replace uncertainty with clarity
