Mercedes-Benz Financial Services receives over $68 million
in loan and lease payments via mobile channels.
In October 2009, Mercedes-Benz Financial Services became the first captive auto finance company to introduce an app for customers with iPhones to enable them to make monthly payments.
Since introducing its iPhone app giving customers the convenience to make payments "anytime, anywhere," Mercedes-Benz Financial Services (MBFS) has
received over $68 million in payments via mobile channels through the first
quarter of this year -- and the number is growing.
Given the strong demand, MBFS continues to build capabilities in the mobile space, having recently enhanced the My MBFS app to include: request a quote
from a dealer; payment reminders; and GPS dealer locator capability.
