Evolution Funding has partnered with Codeweavers to help dealers deliver a ‘more streamlined’ finance journey to customers.

Dealers can access Evolution’s full finance product suite through their Codeweavers portal, as well as manage finance applications right through to e-Sign.

For car buyers, the integration facilitates both online and in-showroom applications and customers can expect a ‘smoother’ experience as they shop for vehicle finance, said Evolution Funding.

Paul Hibbert, strategic relationships director at Evolution Funding, said: “We are always looking to strengthen our proposition when it comes to improving our dealer partners’ digital presence. As such, we are delighted to have completed this integration with Codeweavers.

“Our finance products and technology combined with their market leading web and Showroom System platform will make it easier for our mutual dealer partners to transact, whilst delivering an optimised end-to-end digital journey for their customers. We look forward to working closely with Codeweavers to build out further enhancements.”

A leasing business has analysed pricing data and found that driving a battery electric car on a lease is cheaper than funding the EV on personal contract purchase (PCP).

“We are delighted to have partnered with Evolution and we are excited to see what additional gains the partnership can generate.”
