CHARLOTTE, N.C. -

Another former Nicholas Financial executive joined the management team at Metrolina Credit Co., a specialty finance operation offering indirect auto financing solutions in the subprime credit space as well as consumer and personal loans direct to the public. 

Coming on board with Metrolina Credit is Matthew Niemann, who will be the company’s controller and will head up and manage the accounting department. 

Niemann previously spent more than nine years with Nicholas Financial out of Clearwater, Fla., in a similar role.

“We are very pleased and excited to have Matt on our management team," said Metrolina Credit president and chief executive Doug Marohn, who also joined the company after spending several years with Nicholas Financial.

“His thorough understanding of the consumer finance and specialty auto finance business coupled with his solid accounting background make him a perfect fit for Metrolina,” Marohn continued.

Metrolina Credit has three branch offices in North Carolina; one each in Charlotte, Concord and High Point.
