StoneEagle Expands Footprint in Automotive Lender Compliance

StoneEagle®, F&I solutions leader to the automotive industry for over thirty-five years and comprehensive repair event documentation provider has expanded its business to drive cost-effective compliance solutions for the benefit of the industry and consumers.


RICHARDSON, Texas, Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- StoneEagle®, F&I solutions leader to the automotive industry for over thirty-five years and comprehensive repair event documentation provider has expanded its business to drive cost-effective compliance solutions for the benefit of the industry and consumers. As a part of StoneEagle's powerful Enterprise Solutions, StoneEagleCOMPLIANCE, along with StoneEagleADMIN and StoneEagleMARKETPLACE provides powerful SaaS solutions for TPAs, OEMs, insurers, auto lenders and retailers. Focused on the industry's need for improved refund quoting, compliance, and payment processing, StoneEagle also made the strategic decision to hire Rich Apicella as the company's Vice President of Compliance.


As automotive finance compliance has received increased regulatory scrutiny over the last several years, there's been an overarching need to help consumers receive their refund payments faster while also streamlining the current complex process. StoneEagle's ongoing commitment to the automotive industry, delivering cost-effective solutions for lenders, F&I product providers and retail automotive dealers to improve compliance outcomes for consumers, formed what is now StoneEagleCOMPLIANCE.


"We are proud to continually invest in expanding these capabilities to ensure our clients remain both compliant and competitive," noted Cindy Allen, Chief Executive Officer of StoneEagle.
