Agora Data, Inc., a finance solution provider of predictive loan technology, announced the publishing of a feature article in August’s BHPH Dealer Magazine titled, “Subprime vs. BHPH – The Models Compared” by Chris Barry, SVP of Sales, Agora Data.
In his article, Barry examines the differences between subprime finance and BHPH finance models as they pertain to revenue, losses, operating expenses, and interest costs to show why he believes that one model is superior to the other.
When comparing one model to another Barry says, “As a subprime auto finance lender, I never had the advantage of engaging with the customer from the beginning to the end of the loan lifecycle, nor did I have the ability to navigate the customer to their trade-in and next purchase, which is optimal.”
Barry continues to say, ”The subprime finance company model has scale and lower costs, but maximizing the collection of gross margin through the effective use of data and basic risk management techniques can make the BHPH model a far superior return on assets,” said Barry. “At the end of the day, the most important thing is collecting payments. After all, how much interest income does an auto dealer earn when they have to repossess a loan?”
The full article is available in the printed edition of the August 2020 BHPH Dealer Magazine or through their digital version at Barry Article and on Agora’s blog site at Agora.
