The DealerTrack credit application network allows dealers to electronically submit credit applications to their connected network of banks, independent finance companies, captives, and credit unions.  The network has grown from five U.S. lenders in 2001 to more than 1,200 lenders today.

"Our credit application network continues to be the leading platform to support a dealership's sales and F&I workflow," said Robert Granados, vice president and general manager of DealerTrack's Sales and F&I Solutions. "The combination of the recent automotive retail market growth, the strength of our industry partnerships, and recently introduced functionality has allowed us to continue to expand the size and value of our network for dealers and lenders through the first half of the year."
