Setting Up the 'In-House' Finance Source

Before you can proceed with any Buy-Here/Pay-Here financing, you must set up at least one finance source that is designated as your Buy-Here/Pay-Here bank. The steps to set up your Buy-Here/Pay-Here finance source are the same as setting up any other finance source and are described in the Finance Information section of this manual.
