AUSTIN – SMART Payment Plan has transmitted more than $5 billion of consumer bill payments. SMART Payment Plan helps Americans match lower and easier automated loan and bill payments to their paydays. SMART provides point-of-sale technology that allows automotive dealers to offer lower, more affordable payments to their customers.
Our focus on making things simple and serving customers and dealers with exceptional service has delivered a win-win for car buyers and automotive dealers.
