Powerful New Feature Embeds Prequalification Tool in Ready-to-Use Creative Assets that Dealers Can Leverage Anywhere They Market to Consumers

NEW YORK, Nov. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Octane® (Octane Lending, Inc.®), the fintech revolutionizing the buying experience for major recreational purchases, announced a groundbreaking new enhancement to its digital soft pull tool, Prequal Flex™, with the launch of personalized marketing kits that powersports dealers can use to drive consumer applications.

By embedding a prequalification tool within ready-to-use marketing assets, the new, downloadable kits give powersports and outdoor power equipment (OPE) dealers a fast, easy way to market their products and help consumers to understand their buying power while they research vehicles. Each Prequal Flex kit is tailored to the specific dealership and includes stunning creative assets that are formatted for key marketing channels, such as digital and social media advertisements as well as print materials like hang tags, stickers, and in-dealership and at-event signage. All assets in the kit include a personalized QR code tied to that specific dealership that consumers can scan to fill out a short, fast financing application and receive an instant credit decision from Octane’s in-house lender, Roadrunner Financial®, Inc.

“Prequal Flex has made it easier to market our dealership. We use it in paid ads, on social media, and on our inventory detail pages,” said Ben Hoffman, Sales Manager at Offroad Motorsports & Cycle Sales in Jonesville, Pennsylvania. “Prequal gives my buyers an instant decision without hurting their credit, so it’s always the first thing I ask buyers to do when they reach out.”

“Powersports dealers are always looking for ways to maximize the impact of their marketing efforts and reach more qualified customers,” said Mike Dushane, Chief Product Officer at Octane. “Our innovative, custom marketing kits make it even easier for dealers to leverage the power of Prequal Flex, which gives customers a fast, simple way to prequalify for financing, streamlining the buying process and getting them onto their dream vehicles faster. 65% of prequalified buyers say they bought within one week of an Octane prequalification.”

Octane rolled out Prequal Flex to all powersports dealers in May 2023. Prequal Flex is an extension of Octane’s award-winning suite of soft-pull ecommerce tools, Octane Prequal™, which is used by over 700 dealers nationwide. Dealers using Octane Prequal saw qualified applications increase by 2x and funded loans increase by 8x. Additionally, Prequal Flex helps dealers expand their reach by attracting customers outside of their local market. For example Offroad Motorsports & Cycle Sales saw applications within a 50 and 100 mile radius increase by 134%, applications within a 150 to 200 mile radius increase by 96%, and applications within a 200 to 300 mile radius increase by 133%. The dealership saw total applications increase by 58% since they began using the Octane Prequal suite of tools.

Enrolled powersports dealers can find their Prequal Flex marketing kit as well as their dedicated Prequal Flex link on the homepage of their Octane Dealer Portal. Prequal Flex leads appear in the dealer portal alongside applications from other channels, providing a fast, easy financing experience for dealers and consumers.

TULUFAN, China, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On September 19, employees of State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company came to State Power Investment Zhongli Tenghui Qiquanhu Photovoltaic Power Station to provide comprehensive technical support and guidance for new energy enterprises.

Seven wind power and photovoltaic power generation enterprises, including Xinjiang Jize Power Generation Company in Tulufan, have obtained 6.035 million KWH of grid electricity by purchasing 6,035 “green certificates” to achieve “green electricity – green electricity” and achieve green energy use in the whole link of new energy power generation.

The green power certificate, referred to as “green certificate”, is the only certificate that identifies the production and consumption of renewable energy power. Promoting the all-green operation of new energy power generation is an important measure to promote the green consumption of renewable energy.

“Before, we were just ‘producers’ of green electricity. Now the buyers of green certificates have become green electricity consumers, and the production process is fully green.” Qiquan Lake photovoltaic power station inspection officer Forzati Dilishati said.

Since the launch of the green electricity and green certificate market, State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company has actively promoted green electricity trading, promoted the supply of green electricity and green certificates in multiple scenarios, promoted the rapid promotion and popularization of related services in Tulufan, and helped build a new power system.

In the first eight months of this year, the cumulative volume of green electricity transactions in Xinjiang reached 1.174 billion KWH, 93.83 times that of the whole year of 2022.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, PayPal Ventures, the global venture capital arm of PayPal, announced an additional investment in Chaos Labs, an industry leader in onchain risk management. This investment underscores PayPal Ventures’ confidence in Chaos Labs’ potential and their blockchain products.

Chaos Labs’ recent launch of Edge, a new decentralized oracle protocol, has garnered significant attention within the industry. Edge has already secured a remarkable $30B over the last 2 months and has been adopted by leading exchanges such as Jupiter, the top perpetuals exchange on Solana, and GMX, the leading exchange on Arbitrum.

Edge offers a comprehensive, low-latency oracle solution, combining accurate price data with actionable market intelligence. Its advanced architecture ensures the security and efficiency of DeFi applications while providing insights into market dynamics and security risks. Edge monitors the market for specific risk signals, performs the offchain data parsing and computation, and outputs one actionable data point.

Omer Goldberg, CEO and Founder of Chaos Labs, said, “We’re excited to receive the strong confidence and additional support from the PayPal Ventures team. Edge by Chaos is the culmination of our entire company’s work and expertise. Edge Price, Risk, and Proofs deliver meaningful and unmatched contextualized risk and price data for assets including stablecoins and other real-world-assets, in addition to the crypto assets and venues that provide access to them.”

Last month, Chaos Labs announced a $55 million Series A funding round led by Haun Ventures, including prominent new investors such as F-Prime Capital, Slow Ventures, and Spartan Capital, and existing investors including PayPal Ventures. Chaos Labs has experienced significant growth, tripling its customer base and securing billions in trading volume, loans, and incentives.

PayPal Ventures’ investment aligns with PayPal’s ongoing commitment to the blockchain ecosystem. In May 2024, PayPal launched its stablecoin, PYUSD, on the Solana blockchain.

Amman Bhasin, Partner at PayPal Ventures, said, “Our continued investment in Chaos Labs reflects our belief in their vision to create a safer crypto ecosystem and move more financial services on chain. Chaos Labs has emerged as a leading risk authority in the sector and we are thrilled to witness their evolution as they launch innovative products like Edge to mitigate oracle vulnerabilities.”

Chaos Labs will receive the total investment in PYUSD on-chain. A simulation will be shown live on-stage on September 20th at the annual Solana Breakpoint conference in Singapore.
