GARDEN CITY, N.Y. — Chase Auto Finance recently opened a full-service Custom Finance Business Center in Richmond, Va., to help dealers provide financing solutions for subprime customers.
“This center strengthens Chase’s commitment to dealers and car buyers in Virginia,” said Bill Jensen, Chase Custom Finance executive. “We are making it even more convenient for auto dealers in the region to meet their customers’ needs.”
Kevin O’Connell manages the center at 3900 Westerre Parkway and heads a team that includes credit analysts, a funding supervisor and a relationship manager.
Chase purchases retail installment contracts and originates loans across the continental United States, as well as in Hawaii and Alaska. Its Custom Finance division serves more than 15,000 auto dealers across the country with more than 40 business centers.
Auto loan originations rose over 6% year-over-year in the third quarter of 2025, but TransUnion predicts a slight decline in auto loan growth this year, making it an outlier in the company's overall lending forecast.
