Glenview Finance lands new VP, relationship with RouteOne
Glenview Finance made a couple of moves this week to reinforce its market position; one associated with personnel and the other with technology.
Along with bringing aboard a new vice president of business development who previously spent nine years with Wells Fargo, Glenview Finance said its Credit Builder Program is now accessible on the RouteOne platform.
Designed for full spectrum automotive financing, Glenview Finance highlighted the relationships with RouteOne enhances dealer connectivity and simplifies financing processes for retail dealers seeking fast, comprehensive, and financially beneficial access to consumer financing.
Launched last January, Credit Builder combines competitive rates, rapid funding turnaround, and the ability to work with live underwriters.
By integrating with RouteOne, Glenview Finance said it can ensure dealers benefit from the platform’s robust tools, seamless digital financing processes, and open integrations with industry partners.
“We are thrilled to join RouteOne, an industry pioneer with over two decades of experience enhancing the F&I process,” Glenview Finance president John Donaldson said in a news release. “This integration brings dealers even more efficiency, speed, and precision when serving their subprime customers, especially since this integration further enhances our eContracting solution.
Glenview’s eContracting solution is an integral part of Glenview Finance’s Credit Builder automotive finance platform. It can offer seamless, end-to-end digital contract generation, customer verification, signing, and vaulting solutions.
Glenview Finance said the transition to fully electronic contract workflows offers advantages over traditional manual processes, often plagued by lengthy delays, errors, and compliance challenges.
By digitizing the entire financing process, Glenview Finance said it can deliver a faster, fully compliant, and consistent experience. Retailers can expect, in most cases, same day funding, Donaldson added.
“RouteOne’s state-of-the-art credit application system and expansive integration capabilities ensure our dealer clients can easily access Credit Builder and other key programs,” Donaldson said.
