Westlake Financial is a privately held financial services firm focused on automotive lending for prime through sub-prime borrowers. It supports car dealers by offering on-the-spot loan approvals through its Buy Program, reducing the need for callbacks, faxes, or delays common in traditional credit processes. The company originates indirect retail installment contracts across a nationwide network of new and used car dealers and handles all servicing in-house from its central facility in the Mid-Wilshire area of Los Angeles. Based in Los Angeles, California, Westlake has been operating since 1988 and serves the market through a national dealer base, overseeing collections and servicing internally. A recent development includes a 2024 partnership with Stride Bank to launch the Westlake Black Visa Credit Card through its Westlake Direct division.
