DriveItNow Offers a Complete Consumer Credit Solution for Auto Dealer Website Providers

DriveItNow helps website providers attract and engage more online car buyers for their dealer customers

CINCINNATI, Ohio (Sep. 23, 2014) - DriveItNow, the leader in online pre-qualified monthly payment marketing technology, now offers auto dealer website providers a comprehensive and compliant credit services solution for their customers.

Most consumers finance or lease their vehicles. Today's auto dealer websites offer a variety of disjointed and often conflicting credit related services, such as "Get Pre-approved", generic payment calculators, search-by-payment, trade-in valuations, and full credit applications that require personal information. These services are usually from different vendors that require the shopper to provide their information multiple times.

"DriveItNow's Credit Center ties all auto finance-related services together through one simple-to-integrate website widget," said Tarry Shebesta, President of DriveItNow. "Online shoppers can easily access what they need in one place without having to provide personal information or complete multiple forms."

At the core of the Credit Center platform is DriveItNow's patent-pending pre-qualification payment quoting technology. Real monthly payments are quoted using the dealer's lender programs and the consumer's actual credit bureau, without requiring a social security number or date of birth or affecting the consumer's credit score.

"Other industry services that quote monthly payments and finance rates are not always accurate or compliant and are not based on the consumer's actual credit bureau," says Shebesta. "Those services display best-case scenarios which may give shoppers an unrealistic expectation of what they can actually afford to buy."

The Credit Center integration is simple, totally customizable and gives website providers that offer SEO/SEM services additional keyword marketing opportunities. DriveItNow also displays fully compliant disclosures and works with compliance experts to ensure dealers comply with federal rules and regulations of the FCRA and CFPB.

DriveItNow's Credit Center services include:

• Short-form finance application with instant pre-qualification
• Pre-qualified monthly payment buttons on vehicle inventory
• Shop-by-Payment functionality
• Trade-in Equity Calculation
• OEM Loan and Lease Special Promotions
• Real-time "Soft-Pull" full credit bureau reports

All Credit Center services can be accessed from various links throughout a website, within email marketing campaigns or social media.

"Other industry vendors are trying to play catch up as we continue to lead in this market segment," notes Shebesta. "Our 14 years of online experience as a direct-to-consumer finance company, and dealer, gives us the advantage in knowing what engages online shoppers. We don't rely on surveys or focus groups."

A mobile version of these services is also available and is compatible with responsive website platforms.

DriveItNow's Credit Center is available to new and used car dealers, OEMs, classified and finance portals, and website vendors. For more information, visit DriveItNow.com or call 800.223.4882 ext 10.
