Carputty
Fintech · Atlanta, United States · Founded 2020
A consumer automotive startup that provides car loan services to its clients MoreLess
Carputty was founded in 2020 by Patrick Bayliss and Joshua Tatum. Bayliss, with a background in the automotive industry, and Tatum, with experience in fintech from his time at SoFi, combined their expertise to address the complexities and lack of transparency in auto financing.
The company operates as a direct-to-consumer lending platform in the auto financing market. Its primary offering is Flexline™, a flexible line of credit that allows consumers to get a pre-approved loan for purchasing a new or used car, refinancing an existing loan, or buying out a lease. This line of credit can be used at any dealership, giving the consumer greater flexibility and control over their purchase.
Carputty's business model is centered on providing a more transparent and user-friendly alternative to traditional auto lending. The company has seen significant growth, recently securing a $12.3 million Series A funding round and a $75 million warehouse financing facility to support its expansion.
