Auction Flex & HiBid Join Forces With Currency To Offer Express Financing & Simplify Auction Transactions

Auctioneers and bidders participating in live and online auctions through Auction Flex (www.AuctionFlex.com) and HiBid can now take advantage of expedited financing services. Express Financing by Currency (www.CurrencyCap.com) quickly and easily connects auctioneers and auction participants to an expansive network of lenders, providing needed funds at competitive rates and presenting a number of key benefits for both buyers and auction houses.

Express Financing enables auctioneers to expedite loan approvals, simplifying financing for customers and streamlining sales transactions. Once the borrower’s information is submitted through the program, the Express team works quickly to compare each credit profile to over 40 different credit boxes, accommodate unique loan requirements, arrange financing, and expedite underwriting and the distribution of funds.

Buyers browsing auction listings online at HiBid.com or through any of its state-specific websites (Forida.HiBid.com, for example) can submit borrower information quickly and easily by clicking the adjacent Express Financing link. Auction houses that opt into the Express Financing program benefit from the convenience of Express Financing input fields directly on their online auction listings, and the opportunity to generate recurring financing revenue through kickbacks from successfully financed deals.

“Currency provides user-friendly technology that truly expedites financing,” explains Auction Flex’s Auction Support Manager Kris Kennedy. “From the very beginning, we have made it a tenant to treat every opportunity as an investment in our customers and their success. Positioning our customers to leverage this proven-successful tool is simply an extension of our mission to help them build their businesses in any way possible.”

Easy access to Express Financing is the result of an agreement between Currency and AuctionTime.com, which acquired Auction Flex in March 2017. Auctioneers interested in leveraging Express Financing can contact Auction Flex, AuctionTime, or Currency directly.
