AUSTIN, Texas -

RateGenius, an online auto refinancing platform, recently reached a milestone by refinancing more than 334,738 installment contracts, saving customers an estimated $350.5 million since its inception in 1999.

“It’s gratifying to know that we've helped so many people save such a magnitude of money. Knowing that many people live paycheck to paycheck lets me know that we provide a valuable service, and I'm extremely proud of that,” RateGenius chief executive officer Chris Brown said.

RateGenius now looks forward to helping 400,000 people refinance their vehicles — 334,738 down, 62,262 to go.

“You do good things, good things come,” Brown said. “Our momentum is tremendous. People are realizing that we are great and are telling their friends. Word of mouth is one of the best forms of advertising.

“Every day the number of referrals that we get grows. We look forward to seeing our network grow and continuing to help as many people save money as we can,” Brown went on to say.
