Mercedes-Benz Financial Scores With Mobile App

Mercedes-Benz Financial touts its iPhone app as “the coolest way to make a payment.” And it’s no wonder: Since launching the app in October, 3,000 people have used it — to the tune of $2.5 million in lease and loan payments.

So far, 11,000 people have downloaded the app, and 7,800 have visited the newly launched Mercedes-BenzFinancial.com/mobile web site.

Using the app, customers can make payments, get payoff quotes, and access their contracts. Potential car buyers, meanwhile, can find out about the latest incentives and locate dealers nearby.

Mercedes-Benz Financial has mobile apps for the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Droid, and Blackberry.
