DEERFIELD, Fla. — Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Ratings Services recently reaffirmed its strong ranking of World Omni Financial Corp./CenterOne Financial Services LLC, which has maintained this status since 2004. This represents the highest ranking possible for a consumer finance, automobile loan and lease servicer.
World Omni/CenterOne remains the only consumer finance, automobile loan and lease servicer in the nation to achieve this distinction.
“We are committed to maintaining high standards of business operations while providing exceptional service to our valued clients,” said Brent Sergot, vice president and general manager of CenterOne. “As a company that continuously strives to offer outstanding customer support, it is an honor to once again receive this recognition.”
According to S&P’s report, the overall ranking was reaffirmed based on “the company’s sufficiently tenured and highly experienced management team, robust internal controls and risk management, training programs, policies and procedures (P&Ps), demonstrated default management and asset management expertise, robust level of automation, effective use of technology, and execution of strategic business initiatives.”
