Allied Credit selects Solifi’s end-to-end auto lease solution

Solifi, a global fintech software partner for secured finance, announced that Allied Credit Group, an Australian-based automotive and equipment finance organisation, will implement the company’s Open Finance Platform SaaS solutions in support of its automotive novated lease offering.

A novated lease is a salary packaging option that allows employees to pay for a vehicle and its running costs from their pre-tax salary. It is a three-party agreement between an employee, their employer and the financier. It is a popular offering in the Australian market due to preferential taxation, especially for EVs.

As part of Allied Credit’s aim to take advantage of a growing market opportunity, the business sought to work with a proven solution provider. Solifi has supported novated leases for customers in Australia for many years, making the provider the obvious choice for the financier.

“Allied was looking for a provider with a track record of successful delivery and assessed Solifi to be the superior solution. We have been supporting novated leases for other Australian financiers for many years” said Duncan Smith, Managing Director – APAC at Solifi.

“Our SaaS model is aligned to Allied Credit’s overall strategy and allows them to get product to market quickly and efficiently.”

“It is important for Allied to get up and running quickly to diversify our product offering for the benefit of our current and future partners,” said Jon Moodie, CEO at Allied Credit. “We believe that Solifi’s end-to-end solution will get us to market and importantly drive speed-to-value quickly, and our previous experience of working with Solifi gives us comfort that we can work collaboratively with them to deliver a market-leading solution”.

“We have plans to create some unique competitive advantages for Allied in the novated lease segment, and we are actively considering how we can use the configurability of Solifi’s solutions to later bring additional leasing products to market,” said Brett Morgan, Allied Credit Head of Leasing.
