What defi SOLUTIONS does

defi SOLUTIONS, operating as defi AUTO, LLC, is a US-based private software company that provides an end-to-end lending platform purpose-built for the auto and consumer finance industry. The platform spans the full lending lifecycle: defi ORIGINATIONS handles loan and lease origination with automated underwriting, decisioning, deal structuring, and funding; defi SERVICING covers account administration, collateral management, and default management; defi CONNECT provides mobile-enabled borrower and dealer-facing portals; defi ANALYTICS delivers configurable portfolio reporting and role-based dashboards; and defi BPO offers outsourced servicing including customer support, lease maturity management, and remarketing. The architecture is cloud-native and API-enabled, hosted on Microsoft Azure, with no-code configurability for workflows, rules, policies, and decisioning logic.

The company sells exclusively through direct enterprise field sales to banks, captive auto finance companies, credit unions, and finance companies (FinCos) across North America. Distribution is augmented by 135+ pre-integrated technology partners and 80+ dealer-side integrations, allowing lenders to plug the platform into existing dealer, credit bureau, valuation, and compliance ecosystems. Revenue is generated through SaaS licensing, managed servicing / BPO engagements, and professional services for implementation and configuration. The company claims more than 30 years of operating history, a 98% client retention rate, and 501-1,000 employees, and received a $55 million growth investment from Bain Capital Ventures in 2018. AI is embedded in decisioning, fraud detection, predictive default analytics, chatbots, and biometric authentication.
