CHARLOTTE – LendingTree Inc. will integrate with finance and insurance platform RouteOne to connect car dealers and finance sources, the company announced Tuesday.
LendingTree, using RouteOne’s credit aggregation system, will offer customers financing offers for car dealers through North America.
LendingTree operates LendingTree.com, the largest online lending marketplace in the U.S. and the new partnership will allow the company to improve its auto offerings.
“Equipped with financing in hand, LendingTree users can walk into the dealership and close their deal with speed and confidence, resulting in a positive consumer experience for lenders, dealers, and borrowers,” Neil Salvage, president of LendingTree, said in a statement.
