Open Lending Corporation (NASDAQ: LPRO) (“Open Lending” or the “Company”), an industry trailblazer in automotive lending enablement and risk analytics solutions for financial institutions, today announced the winners of their inaugural Economic Vehicle Accessibility Awards (“EVAAs”). The winning banks and credit unions are Open Lending partners that are driving vehicle access through financing opportunities for creditworthy near- and non-prime borrowers.
“Many deserving borrowers face barriers to vehicle ownership, including historically high costs to buy and own an auto, significantly higher interest rates, and complex automotive lending processes,” said Kevin Filan, senior vice president of marketing at Open Lending. “The EVAAs are about recognizing and celebrating our partners who are transforming auto lending inclusivity through their commitment to look beyond traditional credit scores and extend the possibility of vehicle ownership to deserving, underserved borrowers.”
