IWS balances out the burden of high cost vehicle repair.

IWS is a leading provider of vehicle protection products, among them Vehicle Service Agreements (VSAs) and Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP). We work exclusively with credit unions, so we understand their unique structure and their devotion to their members. That’s why, at IWS, we provide best-in-class service, sales support and training.

Our vehicle protection program offers your members peace of mind and at the same time is a substantial revenue-enhancing opportunity for your credit union.

IWS welcomes the opportunity to help you protect more of your members with a vehicle protection program that is second to none just as we did for our credit union partner:

“The PIC offered through IWS has reduced the anxiety of our Financial Service Representatives providing them access to experts that are able to answer all questions of the member concerning covered items.  Staff used to avoid having conversations about service plans. Because we are educating more members through this process we are protecting more automobiles and thus reducing the stress of the borrower.  The credit union and membership benefits from this improved performance in a variety of ways including, a more than 500 percent increase in income, higher member satisfaction, and cost savings for the membership.”

– Jason Ritter, Senior Vice President of Member Experience, Henrico Federal Credit Union

AN AFFORDABLE SOLUTION TO A COSTLY PROBLEM.
More consumers now hold onto their vehicles longer and opt for longer loan terms. That increases the chance they’ll face a large auto-repair bill before paying off their loan. Nearly one in three U.S. motorists cannot pay for the average $500–$600 repair bill without going into debt.*

SUPERIOR SALES WITH AN INCOME GUARANTEE.
Work less, earn more. When members are referred to our Product Information Center, IWS converts an average of 32% of those leads to vehicle service agreements (VSAs). In contrast, we’ve found that credit unions on average sell a VSA to 6-8% of members. Utilizing our Product Information Center even comes with an income guarantee. 

MORE ASSURANCE. LESS RISK.
For repossessed autos with loans that are tied to one of our VSAs, IWS will refund 100% of the policy premium to your credit union. Alternatively, your credit union can use the policy to repair the repossessed car to sell it.

WE SERVICE WHAT WE SELL.
As the direct administrator and obligor on our plans we offer. We handle everything, from supplying a quote to paying a claim, including program design, pricing, underwriting, and billing and claims administration. When members encounter vehicle problems, we serve them with speed, respect and transparency — which reflects well on your credit union.
