Consumer Completes Application
1. Financing Options Disclosure
This is the landing page for a Consumer Application. We disclose terms & conditions, and make sure the consumer agrees that they are applying for credit upfront, which keeps your business compliant with Dodd-Frank & GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act). Your logo is displayed at the top of the disclosure, so that your customers will know that they are applying for financing with your business.
Consumers are Agreeing to the following:
- Terms & Conditions: They will be reading this on their own behalf
- Privacy Policy: UAS does not share their information, & only uses it for credit purposes
- ESIGN Consent Act:They must consent to the use of Electronic Communication
- Consent to Electronic Records, Signatures, Disclosures, and Communications
- This Consents allows UAS to send required notices electronically, which is a lot more cost effective (and more convenient for the consumer).
