AUSTIN, Texas, May 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Open Lending (NASDAQ: LPRO) provides loan analytics, risk-based pricing, risk modeling, and default insurance to auto lenders throughout the United States. The company announced today that Westerra Credit Union, a $1.9 billion institution based in Denver, CO, has selected Open Lending’s Lenders Protection™ program to increase their auto loan volume and expand their reach within their community.

Open Lending’s flagship product, Lenders Protection™, is a unique auto lending enablement platform. It utilizes proprietary data and advanced decisioning analytics to provide lenders with a powerful way to increase near and non-prime auto loan volumes, without adding significant risk to their auto loan portfolio.
