SAN DIEGO — Chase Auto Finance named industry veteran Cesar Martinez as manager of its custom finance business center in San Diego, which serves the subprime financing needs of the area’s auto dealers and their customers.
Martinez has more than 25 years of experience in auto finance. Most recently, he was an underwriting manager at Chase Auto Finance’s Riverside, Calif. office.
“Chase offers local customer service to provide our San Diego area dealers, and ultimately consumers’, easier access to our subprime auto financing solutions,” said Bill Jensen, a Chase Custom Finance executive.
In California, the Chase Auto Finance retail and commercial sales teams provide a full spectrum of services to dealerships through its prime business centers and subprime business centers across the state. Its dealer commercial services division is the largest non-captive floorplan and commercial loan provider for auto dealerships across the nation and offers treasury management services, real estate financing and other banking services to automobile dealers.
