Overview
Octane Lending was founded in 2013 to solve many of the pain points associated with the indirect consumer powersports F&I process. Our platform solves three major pains points we found from interviewing dealers: rekeying of loan application information, multiple hard credit pulls for the consumer, and limited viable subprime lenders.
