Automobile Consumer Services Inc. has partnered with LendingTree Autos and CreditSmarts.com to offer financing options to LendingTree Autos’ customers and to dealers using CreditSmarts.com’s lending platform.
The agreement provides consumers with access to funding, terms that match their credit profiles, and lower APRs, according to ACS. Customers will also be able to use ACS’s call center for personalized loan assistance that includes licensing, which could eliminate a trip to the DMV.
Cincinnati-based ACS provides direct-to-consumer financing and leasing services. It offers car buying, new- and used-car leasing, fleet resources, vehicle remarketing, and used-vehicle sales.
Riverside, Calif.-based CreditSmarts.com is an e-commerce site that “closes the gap between lenders and dealers,” according to its website. Charlotte, N.C.-based LendingTree Autos is an online marketplace that connects consumers to lenders competing for their business. It works with users through multiple stages of car buying, from accessing manufacturer data and used-car values for trade-ins to financing.
