SAN DIEGO--April 11, 2005--Curomax, a leader in dealer finance e-commerce solutions and the originator of the premier multi-asset finance portal in North America, announced today at the Consumer Bankers Association 25th Annual Automobile Finance Conference & Trade Show, that FinanciaLinx, Canada's largest, non-captive leasing company, will be joining the growing list of lenders that have implemented its Internet-based loan origination platform.

With the Curomax platform in place, automobile dealers will have the ability to electronically submit lease applications to FinanciaLinx, obtain on-line, real-time credit decisioning and produce all necessary lease documentation.

"FinanciaLinx has been a leader in utilizing the Internet to complete lease transactions, having used it exclusively for originations since 1998," said Ginter Baca, president & CEO of FinanciaLinx Corporation. "In reviewing the Canadian marketplace, it was clear that many of our dealers use the Curomax channel and after we completed an extensive review of Curomax's product, we decided that it was important for our dealers to have an option of which delivery system they wanted to use in their dealings with us."

With dealers and customers demanding prompt service, FinanciaLinx online applications on Curomax will feature all of their available products and services, including access to all of their manufacturer lease programs.
