RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif. — Finance Express, a provider of Web-based financial services and technology for independent auto dealerships, said that Gateway One Lending & Finance (GOLF), a lender specializing in prime and near-prime paper, joined the Finance Express platform.

“Gateway believes Finance Express will open the door to many independent dealerships across the U.S.,” said Todd Pierson, chief operating officer of GOLF.
“We think that Gateway is an excellent lender serving the prime and near-prime market, which is a niche that our dealers have asked for repeatedly.
