Program Designed to Provide Automotive Lenders and Buy Here Pay Here Dealers With Best Practices Surrounding State and Federal Regulations

Irvine, CA (Marketwired) - Spireon, the leading innovator of Mobile Resource Management (MRM) and Business Intelligence Solutions that connect companies to their mobile assets and workforces, today announced it has joined the National Automotive Finance Association (NAF)'s Consumer Credit Compliance Certification Program as a sustaining platinum sponsor. The compliance certification program is designed to assist consumer finance companies in meeting the increasingly difficult challenge of complying with federal and state regulatory requirements.

"Spireon is committed to helping automotive lenders understand state and federal regulations and supporting customers with best practices around compliance," said Marc Brungger, CEO at Spireon. "We have been a NAF partner since 2008, and look forward to an even stronger partnership in helping NAF to develop and promote a code of responsibility, voluntary policy standards, and compliance certification programs."

The NAF certification program was established in November 2013 and is designed to provide compliance professionals with a solid working knowledge of the federal laws and regulations that govern consumer credit. The program also provides an overview and general examination of state consumer credit law. The program consists of four modules -- two presented in an in-person classroom setting and two online that can be completed at the student's own pace. Each module includes multiple sessions, with each session providing a thorough overview of the applicable law or regulation. The online sessions are followed by an online test that must be passed to receive credit for the session.

"We are pleased to welcome Spireon as a sustaining platinum partner in the NAF Consumer Credit Compliance Certification Program," said Jack Tracey, Executive Director of NAF Association. "A long-time partner of NAF, Spireon is demonstrating its continued commitment to the industry and its customers by helping provide the support and education automotive lenders need to meet growing compliance requirements."

Spireon has taken a lead role with several organizations to help customers and partners operate efficiently, including Payment Assurance Technology Association (PATA), The National Alliance of Buy Here, Pay Here Dealers (NABD), and the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association (NIADA). Spireon also partners with Hudson Cook as part of the company's ongoing commitment to educate legislators and the industry on best practices. In addition, Spireon provides customers with a suite of support tools to help them understand and meet their regulatory requirements.
