Credit Acceptance Corporation (NASDAQ: CACC) is a U.S.-based consumer finance company that provides financing programs and related products and services to independent and franchised automobile dealers. Its business model centers on partnering with auto dealers in two ways: advancing money to dealers in exchange for the right to service the underlying consumer loans, and purchasing consumer loans directly from dealers and retaining the amounts collected. The company also reinsures coverage under vehicle service contracts sold by dealers on vehicles it finances. Founded in 1972 and headquartered in Southfield, Michigan, Credit Acceptance operates within the GICS Consumer Finance sub-industry, a segment of the financial sector that typically specializes in lending to consumers, often through indirect channels such as dealer networks.
