RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif. — Finance Express revealed this week that ACS Financial has come on board as another lender using the provider's Web-based financial services and technology platform.

Officials noted ACS offers leasing and retail financing at prime rates to independent used-vehicle dealers in 48 states throughout the country.

"We are pleased to have another national lender on the system that provides not only auto financing but also leasing to our independent dealer base," stated David Huber, president of Finance Express. "We know that by having strong, reputable lenders on our platform, it helps our dealers get more deals funded and ultimately be more profitable.

"In today's economic state, dealers need lenders more than they ever have before," Huber went on to add. "We think that ACS will be a nice addition to our lender platform offering prime rates to customers that only credit unions can usually compete with."

Tarry Shebesta, president of ACS Financial described how connecting with Finance Express benefits his company.

"Partnering with Finance Express enables us to provide used-car leasing and prime auto financing to a market that has struggled to find lending sources," Shebesta indicated.

"We help to give dealers a competitive edge and help them sell more cars," he concluded.
