IRVINE, Calif. -

Within weeks of reaching a partnership with a subprime auto finance company, AutoGravity — a FinTech developer on a mission to transform auto financing by harnessing the power of the smartphone — announced on Wednesday that potential buyers in 46 states can obtain up to four financing offers on any make, model or trim of new or used vehicle.

Shoppers can receive their offers through four steps on the AutoGravity platform, which can return personalized retail installment contract and lease offers within minutes.

“AutoGravity has brought car finance into the digital age,” said Andy Hinrichs, who became AutoGravity’s founder and chief executive officer after decades as an auto finance executive.

“Our industry-leading technology has been embraced by top banks and captive auto lenders, as well as leading dealer groups who see customers shopping on their smartphones every day,” Hinrichs continued in a news release. “We’ve re-designed the car finance experience, taking it from hours to minutes for car buyers across the country.”

Earlier this month, the firm finalized a partnership with First Investors Financial Services, bringing the subprime auto finance company’s indirect financing business onto the AutoGravity platform.

Based in Irvine, Calif., AutoGravity said it has built other partnerships with the world’s leading banks, captive finance companies and leading dealership groups. As a result, AutoGravity claims to be the only company to successfully bring thousands of dealers and an extensive list of top global finance companies together in a single, convenient digital marketplace.

“To truly empower car buyers with access to every possible vehicle, dealer and finance choice, the AutoGravity platform must be an attractive place for lenders and dealers to do business,” said Serge Vartanov, AutoGravity’s chief marketing officer.

“We’ve spent over a year integrating lenders and dealers into the platform, and we’re now ready for customers across the country to start shopping and financing —making AutoGravity a game-changer in the auto-finance industry,” Vartanov continued.

The app can guide vehicle shoppers through an intuitive four step process:

1. Select any make, model and trim of new or used vehicle available in the United States.

2. Select any dealership from AutoGravity’s proprietary national database; the platform automatically pinpoints the location and shows the closest dealers selling the vehicle.

3. Search for financing for the selected vehicle on a smartphone. Users can scan their driver’s license and connect to social media to quickly pre-fill the finance application.

4. Receive up to four finance offers within minutes. They can select the retail installment contract or lease offer that’s right and head to the dealership to complete the delivery.

“AutoGravity’s highly-streamlined process is designed to address the shopping habits and demands of modern consumers, particularly millennials,” the company said. “This is made possible through AutoGravity’s unparalleled technical expertise, partnerships with the world’s most prominent lenders and a proprietary database of trusted dealerships.

Designed with state-of-the-art security, AutoGravity protects consumers’ information with advanced bank-level encryption and proprietary data security technologies, ensuring sensitive information is processed in a safe and secure way,” the company went on to say.

The app is available for download on from the Apple App Store and from Google Play. AutoGravity is also available as a mobile-responsive web-app at www.autogravity.com
