DRIVRZ Financial highlighted significant milestones with 57 originations in California, representing 42% growth month-over-month.

Also, significant progress has been made increasing market share inside dealerships, as 41% of producing dealers booked four or more deals in July.
In August, DRIVRZ Financial will benefit from several initiatives that should produce strong growth in originations. As press released on July 19, 2021, DRIVRZ Financial added 64 dealerships through one dealer group onto the DRIVRZ Financial platform. The Company has also bolstered its workforce by hiring sales professionals in New York and New England, two new geographies with large total addressable markets.
Jon Lamb, CEO of DRIVRZ Financial commented, "Despite historically low used car inventory levels and a hurricane in Florida which impacted originations, we still generated greater than 30% revenue growth sequentially for a second consecutive month. We see growth accelerating in the Fall when used car inventory levels are replenished. We have broadened our sales outreach to several new markets and have increased sales density in existing markets. Market acceptance for our products is unequivocal, and our conviction is growing stronger to achieve our 2021 and 2022 objectives."
Kelly Jennings, CEO and Founder of PowerBand Solutions states, "The DRIVRZ sales team is in the field driving the momentum, we see incredible opportunity and massive room to grow. We had a good second quarter and expect to have an even better third quarter."
