“DealerCenter is committed to providing strategic integrations that enable our dealer customers to converge their operation into a single platform. Partnering with AGORA aligns perfectly with our focus on adding value for our Buy Here Pay Here dealers,” commented DealerCenter Sr. VP of Sales and Marketing, Jesse Martin.

Since its launch in April 2017, AGORA’s flagship loan exchange platform has rapidly revolutionized the secondary market for auto loans, allowing buyers and sellers to publish and exchange loan data directly, in an efficient and secure environment without the need of intermediaries or brokers.

The DealerCenter integration is the second of many upcoming integrations with the leading DMS providers. AGORA management expects that in the next few weeks AGORA will be fully integrated with DMS providers covering over 75% of the dealerships nationwide. Steve Burke added, “Soon all dealers will be asking ‘Does my DMS do this?’”

AGORA was created in response to the many friction points and inefficiencies that exist in the manner that auto loan portfolios currently trade – namely poor and inconsistent data, lack of transparency from the brokers that previously dominated the market and heightened regulatory concerns over unsecured transmission of personal consumer data.
