LendingTree, Inc., an online lending exchange, announced June 26 an Internet relationship with Kelley Blue Book, which operates an automotive information site. More than 4 million consumers each month utilize the kbb.com Web site to buy, sell, research and preview automobiles online, according to the company.

The LendingTree Exchange of more than 160 lenders is powered by Lend-X, the LendingTree lending technology, which also powers the LendingTree presence on the KBB.com site.
"Our association with LendingTree greatly expands the auto financing options available to kbb.com visitors," said Stephen Henson, vice president, marketing and business development.
