DALLAS -

F&I Express announced this week that it will provide its dealer clients with access to products from the Penn Warranty Corp. through F&I Express’ eContracting platform.

Through this new relationship, dealers using the F&I Express eContracting platform will have the ability to sell Penn Warranty service plans, which offer a wide range of coverage options.

Officials explained all of the forms necessary to complete the sale of a Penn Warranty service contract will be built into the F&I Express eContracting platform solution. Additionally, F&I Express noted that it will remit warranty premiums for vehicles financed through its portal directly to Penn Warranty.

“Penn Warranty’s integration with F&I Express will save time and money in the F&I department through eContracting with a single sign-on process,” F&I Express chief executive officer Brian Reed said.

“By integrating Penn Warranty products with the F&I Express eContracting platform, we offer our dealers another convenient way to serve their customers, while providing another layer of protection for lenders, which is critical in the current marketplace,” Reed continued.

Currently, F&I Express has aggregated a network of nearly 100 automotive aftermarket insurance providers in an online portal accessible by its dealers.

“All of us at Penn Warranty are enthusiastic for the opportunity to partner with F&I Express,” Penn Warranty president and CEO Jude Tuma said.

“Our goal is to exceed expectations for our more than 6,000 dealers,” Tuma went on to say. “We want to make the F&I process as simple and compliant as possible. F&I Express will enable us to deliver that expectation for every customer.”
