Interlink Financial Services deals directly with its customers. As a direct lender, “IFS has more flexibility than other lenders to customize financial programs to fit the customer’s needs. Once a paper is sold, as is the case with most lending institutions in the industry, the original lender has no say on what happens next. Financing programs are typically pre-determined and not flexible when lenders are outsourcing,” the company said.

With IFS, approvals can be customized to fit into the customer’s approval parameters. Typically only one credit inquiry is needed and personal information stays internal instead of being sent to several places.
