ISELIN, N.J. — Darwin Automotive announced it has added Zurich North America’s F&I products to the Darwin core F&I menu, as well as Darwin digital retailing and service menu.

“We are thrilled to add access to Zurich’s suite of F&I products to our growing network, which now includes more than 150 F&I product providers,” said Darwin CPO Christopher Grimes. “I believe Zurich’s willingness to work with technology companies like Darwin is symbolic of an industry that is evolving and giving dealers flexibility to choose the best technology fit for them.”

“The Zurich team is continuously looking for ways to help dealers provide an efficient, transparent, and improved customer experience,” said Marie Knight, head of direct markets and programs and programs strategic services at Zurich. “Zurich’s F&I products and services, together with Darwin’s platform, make a great combination for dealers looking to ensure F&I is an integral part of the digital retailing future.”

Darwin’s F&I technology is utilized by more than 2,500 automotive dealerships across the U.S. Grimes noted that the two companies conducted a pilot program with a number of mutual dealer customers last year. “We look forward to our new collaboration with Zurich, and are excited to provide access to Zurich F&I to our dealer customers nationwide,” he said.
