SCHAUMBURG, Ill., May 19, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- American FINCO Financial Services, a leading provider of third-party consumer credit to the home improvement industry, announced today that it is rolling out a new program to qualifying dealers designed to help them weather the headwinds of the current economy. The program, marketed as the Preferred Dealer Program, offers dealers special promotions and special promotional pricing, the most generous merchant participation program in the industry, as well as a commitment that each preferred dealer will have uninterrupted liquidity should the credit markets tighten or if lenders are forced to ration credit due to the recent collapse of the CDO and securitization markets.
"Our focus has always been on driving quality business from quality dealers," said Robert "Pete" Kanatzar, President of American FINCO. "The Preferred Dealer Program is designed to put more money in the dealers' pockets now, as well as to provide some peace of mind that they won't get caught without financing for their products. By working hard to ensure the success of our best dealers, we ensure our own."
