CARY, N.C. — The past few years have been tough across the board for lenders and dealers, particularly those working in the non-prime, special finance and buy-here, pay-here space. To help bring lenders and dealers together to get credit-challenged customers financed, SubPrime Auto Finance News houses a lender directory on its site.

The publication is seeking the industry's assistance in updating this directory. Do you know of a new lender entering the arena? What about a company that has left? If you represent a company not on the directory, please reach out to [email protected] to help update the list.

"With new companies entering the space and others leaving over the past few years, it's time to work on our lender directory to ensure we're offering the most up-to-date, valuable information we can to our readers," said Jennifer Reed, automotive group editor.

"Though the country's economic health remains a top concern for industry watchers, based on many accounts and reports crossing my desk, non-prime lending is slowly returning and special financing is in as much demand today as ever. Whether you're a dealer, a note purchaser or an indirect lender, please reach out and help us update the directory information to assist the industry as a whole."

To ensure the directory is as helpful as possible, please include states where the company works, as well as any specifics you can share about programs. Contact information for dealers looking to learn more is also necessary. Again, information can be emailed to [email protected].
