Attention Colorado dealers: The Westlake Black Visa Credit Card is here!

September 5, 2025 – Irvine, CA – DealerCenter today announced the integration of the Westlake Black Visa® Credit Card as a new way for dealerships to instantly fund customer down payments. This feature streamlines the sales process by giving dealers immediate access to funds, fully integrated within DealerCenter, and offers customers a fast, convenient alternative to cash or checks.

Instantly Fund Customer Down Payments with the Westlake Black Visa® Credit Card

In today’s fast-moving auto retail environment, speed and flexibility are everything. Dealers know that securing a customer’s down payment quickly can make the difference between closing a deal and watching it walk away. That’s where the Westlake Black Visa® Credit Card comes in — providing dealers with a seamless way to instantly fund customer down payments right inside DealerCenter.

Why This Matters for Dealers

Traditionally, down payments rely on cash, checks, or external financing that can slow the sales process. Delays create friction for both customers and dealerships, which can lead to lost sales opportunities or extended time to funding. The Westlake Black Visa® Credit Card changes the game by streamlining this step:

• Immediate access to funds – No waiting for checks to clear or bank transfers to process.
• Seamless DealerCenter integration – Process payments right where you already manage deals.
• Enhanced customer experience – Give buyers a simple, convenient way to secure their vehicle.

How It Works

With DealerCenter integration, dealers can:

1. Offer the Westlake Black Visa® Credit Card to customers during the sales process.
2. Instantly apply approved credit toward the customer’s down payment.
3. Continue processing the deal with no delays, ensuring the vehicle leaves the lot sooner.

This streamlined flow helps customers who may not have immediate access to cash for their down payment while giving dealers more confidence in funding.
