Another Lender Joins DealerTrack
DealerTrack announced that SunTrust Banks, Inc., has joined the DealerTrack automobile finance
platform. The Web-based DealerTrack platform automates and accelerates the entire dealer-to-lender
relationship, from financing to daily information sharing.
According to the company, dealers that utilize DealerTrack are able to electronically submit loan applications, monitor
related application status changes and access low-cost credit reports, as well as connect online
with lenders.
"SunTrust is committed to providing the best possible service and response time to our dealer
customers," said Paul Neal, group vice president of SunTrust. "DealerTrack will help enhance those
efforts, while allowing us to capitalize on a broad range of important operating efficiencies."
"We're very pleased to welcome SunTrust to the platform," said Mark O'Neil, DealerTrack president
and chief executive officer. "A growing number of lenders are recognizing that DealerTrack can
help them both reduce costs and increase their volume of loans. And for dealers, accelerating and
streamlining the financing process means more time to provide their customers with the kind of fast
and outstanding service that closes deals."
