AmeriCredit Drives Instant Credit Decisions Through DealerTrack
AmeriCredit
Corp. announced Jan. 23 the immediate availability of instant
loan decision capability for auto dealers utilizing the
DealerTrack system.
AmeriCredit's proprietary loan decision tool analyzes the data
submitted via the Internet through DealerTrack, a free tool available
to dealers for providing consumer financing, and electronically
returns a decision in minutes. The service is "always
available, 24/7" so dealers can spend more time selling cars.
"AmeriCredit has long been a technology innovator, investing in
information-based solutions that enable best-in-class service to
dealers through our extensive branch network," commented Mark Floyd,
president of dealer services for AmeriCredit. "This has resulted in
new ideas and continuous improvements which have helped us become the
largest independent middle-market auto lender in North America."
"We are extremely pleased that AmeriCredit has chosen to enhance
their dealer offering exclusively through DealerTrack," commented Mark
O'Neil, president and chief executive officer of DealerTrack.
"Implementing automated decisioning enables almost instantaneous
turnaround time and completes the full automation of the credit
process. Lenders like AmeriCredit are quickly distinguishing
themselves as technology innovators and top notch service providers,"
added O'Neil.
AmeriCredit will demonstrate the DealerTrack application in its
booth at the National Auto Dealer Association (NADA) Trade Show in New
Orleans beginning Saturday, January 26 through Tuesday, January 29,
2002 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, Booth No.4721.
Demonstrations will also be available at the DealerTrack booth,
No.1069.
AmeriCredit, JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo developed the
DealerTrack system for automating the auto dealer-lender process. By
enabling dealers to submit loan applications to multiple lenders 24
hours a day, 7 days a week, DealerTrack claims to provide an end-to-end loan
and lease transaction channel that improves efficiencies and
profitability for lender and dealer users.
