Consumer/Account Login The consumer financing company that approves more applicants
More approvals for customers who are eager to buy!
Since 1990, Monterey Financial has remained accredited with the Better Business Bureau and has an A rating. We've served businesses in many industries and consumers with all credit scores. With performance and reliability as prime directives, we've become one of the leading consumer finance companies in the United States, serving companies here as well as in Canada, Mexico and more.
While we've happily provided financing for businesses whose customers have good credit, many years ago, we recognized that traditional consumer financing companies neglect borrowers with fair, poor and bad credit.
We all know that economic forces beyond their control threw many Americans into foreclosure and bankruptcy. Barring this market of consumers from affordable payment options doesn't make sense, either for the borrowers themselves or for the businesses that could serve them. After All, it is estimated that over 50% of Americans have subprime credit. We believe the majority of these consumers are responsible borrowers.
With the help of automation and improved technology, we've made it cost-effective to increase the approval rate for your customers, even if their credit scores are low or "subprime." Our high approval rates for lower credit scores make us popular with businesses in all kinds of industries by increasing sales volumes, and therefore profits.
Lack of access to credit has created "pent-up demand" in these populations for too long. Many of their needs have gone unsatisfied. When you are the first to offer financing to customers accustomed to rejection, they'll reward you with purchases and loyalty.
Monterey Financial has spent nearly thirty years of working with various finance structures and is able to seamlessly integrate into your sales cycle. Like thousands of our current clients, you will enjoy:

Offering fast financing draws prospects
Letting consumers finance your products and services means more sales
Customer financing just makes sense. The merchant gets the payment upon purchase and the customer gets months to pay in manageable increments. A win-win!
With full or even partial financing, your customer may choose to buy the companion piece to the bedroom set, get the alignment in addition to the new tires, take multiple vocational courses or self-improvement programs, or buy a retail product or vacation package they desire but don’t have the full cash price on hand. Financing allows them to avoid lay-away programs or max out the credit cards they save for emergencies.
You get paid upon the sale; the customer gets the item or service they need.
Frequently asked questions about consumer finance programs
What is consumer finance?
Most consumers don't save money ahead of time to make large purchases. The availability of financing is a big relief to a consumers needing your products or services right away. Just as auto dealers offer financing, so too can doctors, furniture store owners, retail store owners and more. Store financing rates are typically lower than credit card rates and more advantageous to consumers.
A financing company like Monterey Financial pays the business for the product or service up-front and the customer pays the financing company back in affordable installments over time.
How will customer financing help my business?
Offering consumer financing brings many benefits. Our programs have helped businesses:
- Provide a variety of financing options that meet their customers' needs
- Offer the financial incentives that increase foot traffic and repeat business
- Get products and services to a larger audience, those who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford what they offer
- Build brand awareness
- Create customer loyalty and goodwill
- Increase their sales volume and revenue
Which businesses should offer consumer financing?
You don't have to be one of the big stores to be able to offer financing. Any business that sells goods or services interested in increasing their sales could benefit from a consumer financing program.
Can Monterey Financial offer other financing-related services?
Absolutely! Monterey Financial began as a ddelinquent debt recovery solution, but soon began providing additional services. We opened a loan servicing division to help business owners focus on their core competencies and leave loan follow-up and details to experienced loan professionals. As the internet brought loan and document processing automation, servicing interruptions began to confound business owners. Our back back-up servicing and document storage also helps businesses streamline operations.
