New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 04/24/2017 --Loan origination software company, Financial Network, Inc. (FNI), has added Kelley Blue Book automotive valuation services to its list of data providers. Loan origination is the complete process that occurs between borrower and lender. In automotive lending, one of the early stages of FNI's loan origination process is to determine the value of the vehicle and to use this as a means to inform lenders about how to proceed, based on predetermined criteria.

FNI's automobile loan origination services call for market-reflective vehicle valuations to ensure both the lender and the borrower are working with fair pricing estimates. To that end, Kelley Blue Book has proven to be one of the most reliable sources for automobile valuations. Adding Kelley Blue Book data, including trade-in, retail and lending values, ensures that FNI can provide accurate appraisals for its clients in a much more efficient manner than if they used Kelley Blue Book as a third-party. Essentially, it gives FNI's clients instant access to Kelley Blue Book's extensive Blue Book® Value database, making for more efficient loan origination operations all around.
