Ristken Integrates US Equity Advantage’s Biweekly Payment Offering
Dealers using Ristken’s Menu-Pro will not be able to quote US Equity Advantage’s biweekly payment product directly from the menu tool.
ORLANDO, Fla. — US Equity Advantage (USEA) has entered a long-term agreement with Ristken Software Services to provide bi-weekly loan services through the menu maker’s Menu-Pro platform.
Dealers using Ristken’s Menu-Pro will be able to quote biweekly payments in their menu presentation to customers and enroll them through a paperless process that is fully integrated with the DMS. By utilizing AutoPayPlus, dealers help their customers afford more F&I services and products without extending the term or increasing the monthly payment.
“We pride ourselves with working with some of the largest companies in automotive. US Equity Advantage is the premier biweekly service in the industry and they have an excellent track record of service and compliance,” said Patrick DeMarco, president of Ristken Software Services.
“We have known the team at Ristken for many years and watched them become one of the predominant menu systems on the market today,” added Robert Steenbergh, CEO and president of US Equity Advantage. “Our companies share a focus on technology innovation and growth and we look forward to a successful partnership.”
