AUTO1 Group launches digital floorplan financing solution for partner dealers
Enhancing the digital car buying experience for merchants AUTO1 Financing enables dealers to seamlessly add the financing solution to the vehicles they purchased on the AUTO1.com platform as part of their digital customer journey. After purchasing cars, merchants can choose to finance them with one click and instant approval, making it the most convenient solution on the market. With its new digital product, AUTO1 Group has reimagined inventory financing to make it the most simple, convenient and transparent solution for dealers. Used car dealers will receive their cars and documents much faster than through external floorplan financing. The digital offering currently is available to select dealers across Germany, France, Spain and Austria, with more than 500 merchants already financing. AUTO1 Group aims to continue the rapid growth trajectory by rolling out to more merchants and markets throughout the year. AUTO1 Financing as strong future revenue and profit driver By providing used car dealers with a seamless and efficient financing solution, AUTO1 Group is increasing sales and improving dealer loyalty. “AUTO1 Financing is a very attractive business for us on a stand-alone basis. Enabling dealers to build larger inventories with AUTO1 Financing and as a result buy and sell more vehicles will be a strong future revenue and profit driver for us and will contribute significantly to our growth,” said Markus Boser, CFO of AUTO1 Group. “With the recently launched AUTO1 Financing we give used car dealers the means and flexibility they need to grow their business faster with us. We’ve received overwhelmingly positive feedback from our partners already and we are certain that being a reliable and strong financing partner for our dealers will deepen our relationships with them,” said Christian Bertermann, CEO & Co-Founder of AUTO1 Group. AUTO1 Group has entered into a EUR 125 million asset backed securitisation (ABS) program to refinance the receivables generated through AUTO1 Financing, with BNP Paribas as Senior Note Purchaser. The ABS is set up to be upsized and to cover additional markets going forward.
