NextGear Capital Canada Launches Multi-Channel Digital Finance Portal and Partners with Trio of Leading Online Vehicle Auctions

NextGear Capital together with TradeHelper, Otolane and EBlock will offer clients seamless point-of sale digital financing solutions

MISSISSAUGA, ON, Dec. 14, 2017 /CNW/ - As part of its ongoing efforts to invest in digital inventory remarketing,  Cox Automotive Canada's financial services brand, NextGear Capital Corporation ? with its affiliates, the leading automotive wholesale financing company in the world for dealers ? has launched a multi-channel funding portal to offer customers its custom point-of-sale inventory financing solutions.  This portal will be available through its digital auction partners, TradeHelper, Otolane and EBlock.

"Bringing together these three leading online auctions on a single funding portal is an industry-first in terms of offering our clients best in class mobile and digital technologies to aid in the vehicle purchasing process," said Jerome Dwight, National Vice President, Canada, NextGear Capital Corporation. "Now clients will be able to view, bid and purchase vehicle inventory on any of these leading online auctions and seamlessly fund these purchases on their NextGear Capital credit accounts in a manner that is both convenient and secure."

Noting that many online wholesale purchasers in Canada cannot efficiently fund their transactions with a single integrated credit provider, NextGear Capital and its digital auction partners are working together to enable their clients to fully finance their vehicles instantly across multiple channels. 

In addition to being a destination for current NextGear Capital clients, digital auction partner clients will benefit in many ways:

• Ease of use to purchase and finance inventory from leading digital auction providers in Canada
• Safe and secure online funding for clients through NextGear Capital
• Additional liquidity and buying power for clients
• Greater access to a larger array of digital auction partner inventory
• Faster online credit approvals with quicker speed to market
