SMART Payment Plan® Recognized As The National Leader In Consumer Financial Services

AUSTIN, Texas, April 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SMART Payment Plan®, a financial technology company that specializes in consumer bill payments, has received the Diamond Award for outstanding customer support, service and value in the 9^th Annual Auto Dealer Monthly Dealers' Choice Awards.  SMART Payment Plan received the Diamond Award – the highest rated honor – in the Bi-Weekly Payment category. The award was officially announced in the April issue of Auto Dealer Monthly.

"For 10 years, we've helped hundreds of thousands of customers simplify their lives, ease budgeting, improve cash flow, payoff loans faster, and save money," said David Engelman, chief executive officer for SMART Payment Plan. "We are excited that Auto Dealer Monthly has recognized us as a market leader for our ability to help dealers sell more vehicles and create happier repeat customer who return faster and in better equity positions."

SMART Payment Plan simplifies the bill paying process. SMART automatically deducts smaller bill and loan payments from a customer's bank account on a schedule that matches their pay schedule – whether weekly, every-2-weeks, twice-a-month, or monthly. Smaller, more frequent payments allow customers to pay off debt more quickly and save money by reducing the amount of interest charged over the life of a loan. SMART Payment Plan works with customers to pay down fixed consumer loans, including vehicle and boat loans, home mortgages, educational loans, and credit cards.

The Diamond Dealers' Choice Award is given annually to the highest-rated vendors, suppliers and financial companies in the automotive industry. Each company is rated on its product or service, customer service, its overall value, and if the dealer would recommend the product or service to a customer or other dealer.

Three awards are given in each category: Diamond, Platinum and Gold. To win, dealership personnel who have first-hand knowledge and experience with a nominee must rate them among the top three highest performing companies in each category. The highest rated provider that receives a score above the category average wins the Diamond Award, while the second and third highest scoring companies earn the Platinum and Gold Awards respectively. The 2013 Awards featured 27 categories.
