Ally Financial: product details
Ally's corporate pages describe a consumer bank and lender that says it serves over 11 million people through banking, auto and corporate financing, insurance, investment advisory, dealer services and securities brokerage. The home page is consumer-facing, with savings, investing and checking, so the dealer products described in this record sit behind separate dealer pages.
Ally also helped found RouteOne, the credit application network, in 2002. A dealer evaluating Ally should ask which programs apply to its brand and market and how contract funding and reserve are reported.
