AUSTIN, Texas -

Innovative Funding Services and LeasePlan USA announced they have formed a partnership.

 IFS specializes in providing fleet customers with the opportunity to purchase vehicles and offers a variety of financing options through its lender partnerships, as well as commercial loan possibilities. Meanwhile, LeasePlan provides fleet and vehicle management solutions. It manages 1.3 million vehicles throughout the world.

Officials said the two companies will have “a dynamic and productive relationship, ensuring the buyers are getting quality vehicles and an easy, streamlined financing option.”

Levi McCoy, LeasePlan’s director of remarketing, noted: “IFS provides a high level of service during our remarketing process that mirrors our premium, high-touch service delivery. We value partners that can move quickly, provide flexibility and make sure the title work and documentation is correct.

“With IFS, we know it will be done right,” McCoy continued. “In this economy, I think the buyers also appreciate the quick funding of transactions that IFS provides.”

IFS president Tim Janssen added: “This alliance with LeasePlan reaffirms the value IFS can provide to fleet lessors when remarketing their vehicles. Purchasers of these vehicles want personal service, a convenient process and often 100-percent financing, all aspects of the program we provide.

“With the changing dynamics in the lending arena, we have a modern approach to fleet financing and that’s often unique in the industry today,” Janssen noted. “Technology moves quickly, and IFS works hard to stay ahead of the curve to continually improve our processes and keep customer service at optimal levels.”
