👨🏼‍🚒 Auto Link Announces Patent Approval


HARAHAN, La., Nov. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Auto Link, a leading technology and marketing company serving financial institutions, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued the company's U.S. Patent 10,817,145. This patent covers a method for enhancing an existing web site with a seamless integration of complex functionality provided by an external iframe. Using the novel methods presented in the patent, dynamic interoperability of an existing outer web site with an inner iframe is enabled to provide internal linking, coordinated color schemes, social media integration, seamless styling, and other adaptations so that the iframe appears to be an integrated part of the existing web site. In the first application of this new seamless iframe technology, Auto Link's car research portal allows financial institutions to provide their customers and members a safe place to search for their next vehicle without worrying about internet cookies tracking their search and following them with competitors' easy digital financing offers.

Auto Link's exclusive Digital Car Buying Solution allows financial institutions of any size to compete and win in the auto-vertical against competitors such as auto dealers and internet marketers by providing all of the vehicle research, buying and financing tools directly on the client's website. With more and more consumers going digital and spending an average of 12-14 hours online researching their next vehicle purchase, attracting consumers early in the car buying process without the third-party cookies and ads is key to success for any financial institution.

The patent serves to enhance the consumer experience as they complete their online search funneling into client auto lending solutions. This technology provides financial institutions a method to embed a world-class vehicle search within their website, keeping consumers within their site as they browse and provides leads and loan applications before competitors can even begin targeting them.

Ed Bourgeois, Auto Link CEO, states "We are passionate about providing the most value to financial institutions, and this patented technology is an important piece of our mission.  We are excited to work with our clients to ensure they remain competitive in the auto-vertical today and in the future as technology and consumer habits change."

The company currently works exclusively with credit unions, although the patent technology can be used in a wide array of industries.

Both Sides of The Desk!

With over 50 years of experience in the credit union sector, I have had the privilege of observing and participating in its evolution from various vantage points.

How To Make Decisions With Conviction—Even Under Pressure

Why strong leaders act when others hesitate — and how to develop that confidence without needing every answer. I’ve watched smart, experienced leaders freeze. And I’ve been in that same position myself. It’s not because we lack information, but because we don’t feel ready to choose. Leaders often get stuck because they’re waiting for the perfect moment to act. They’re thinking through the consequences, weighing the trade-offs, trying to get it right. But the longer they wait, the harder it becomes to move at all. The truth is that the worst decision isn’t always the wrong one. It’s the one you never make. If you’re in a leadership role, you don’t always get the luxury of knowing. You have to move anyway. Not recklessly, not blindly, but with clarity, purpose and conviction. In high-pressure moments, the gap between average leaders and great ones gets exposed. It’s not a gap in intelligence or experience. It’s a gap in decisiveness. Because conviction doesn’t mean certainty—it means mak...

Fed Kicks Off Two-Days of Meetings Today as Critics, Proponents Respond to Rate Increases; Plus, What CUs Should Expect

CUToday WASHINGTON–The Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee (FOMC) will kick off two days of meetings today and the decision they announce tomorrow will affect everything from the major U.S. markets to credit unions that are seeing strong loan growth to individual credit union members struggling with monthly bills. The FOMC is widely expected to again raise its benchmark rate as it seeks to cool raging inflation. Among those expecting rates to be higher by Wednesday afternoon is CUNA’s chief economist, Mike Schenk, who expects the Fed will push up rates by 75 basis points. That follows the full one percentage point increase made during the Fed’s July meeting. “That’s pretty substantial, but inflation is over 9%,” said Schenk...
