Credit Acceptance

Credit Acceptance Corporation (CACC) operates nationwide, serving as a financial partner for both independent and franchised automobile dealerships across the United States. The company's core business involves two primary methods of engaging with these dealers: 1. It furnishes upfront capital to dealerships, securing the privilege to administer and collect payments on the subsequent consumer loans. 2. Alternatively, CACC directly purchases consumer loan portfolios from dealers, then manages the collection of payments from borrowers and retains the proceeds. Beyond its direct lending activities, the corporation also participates in the reinsurance market, underwriting vehicle service contracts. These contracts are typically sold by dealers to consumers for automobiles that CACC itself has helped finance. Credit Acceptance Corporation was established in 1972 and is headquartered in Southfield, Michigan.
