Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Expands Relationship with First Advantage CREDCO

BATON ROUGE, La.--Wolters Kluwer Financial Services has expanded its relationship with First Advantage CREDCO, a leading provider of automotive specialty credit reporting solutions, to provide credit reports to marine, recreational vehicle (RV), motorcycle and powersports dealerships directly through its AppOne platform. AppOne helps automate the indirect lending process for lenders and dealers by providing credit application workflow automation and compliant document preparation.

“Seamless integration with the expanded AppOne platform means that a broader range of dealers can get fast, convenient access to the credit information they need to help streamline their overall F&I and sales process.”

First Advantage CREDCO’s seamless integration with AppOne means that a broader range of dealerships can now quickly and conveniently access credit reports required to assess customer credit capacity and lender program eligibility guidelines prior to submitting loan applications to one or more lenders for credit approval and underwriting.
