SECU has been very proactive in expeditiously taking the repossessed vehicles and remarketing them back the members. SECU has found that when they sell these repos themselves locally, not only does it maximize recovery from losses, but it also gives the credit union another chance to secure financing on the same asset with a different borrower.

SECU doesn’t published their repossession sales on their website like most credit unions, but they do keep current lists in any of their branches which can be emailed upon request.
