DealerTrack, a technology services company that accelerates the

entire dealer-to-creditor relationship through a Web-based platform, announced an alliance

with Household Auto Finance, a subsidiary of Household International. Household now

participates in the Web-based DealerTrack™ auto finance platform in 12 states, with a nationwide

rollout planned within the next 30 days.

According to the company, dealer customers of Household who use DealerTrack are now able to electronically transmit credit

applications to Household, as well as a range of other creditors already on the system, and receive

fast response back on decisions. In addition, dealers are able to transact other financing-related

processes, such as monitoring application status changes, accessing low-cost credit reports and

processing contracts electronically.

"The DealerTrack platform is well-established within the automotive finance community," said Tom

Reddick, director of E-commerce for Household Auto Finance. "By joining the platform, our

organization has already experienced positive results, including an increase in credit application

and contract volume and enhanced service for our dealer customers."

"Household Auto Finance is clearly committed to making dealer-to-creditor transactions as efficient

as possible," said Mark O'Neil, DealerTrack president and CEO. "We're thrilled that a creditor who
