NEW YORK, July 9, 2025 <\/strong>\u2013 Kafene, a point-of-sale leasing platform that helps retailers offer credit-constrained customers more flexible purchase options through lease-to-own (“LTO”) agreements, today announced a partnership and integration with LendPro, a leading provider of in-store and e-commerce lending technology solutions designed to match consumers with financing options that fit their credit profile.<\/p>\n

Through this integration, Kafene becomes part of LendPro’s expanding network of financing providers, enhancing the platform\u2019s ability to serve retailers and consumers with a broad range of credit profiles. Retailers using LendPro can now access Kafene’s innovative tiered leasing model, offering a seamless way to serve customers who may not qualify for traditional credit, while driving increased conversions on big-ticket items like furniture, appliances, electronics, and tires.<\/p>\n

“This partnership with LendPro represents another major step in our mission to democratize access to ownership through flexible lease-to-own options,” said Tony Cerino, Executive Vice President of Revenue at Kafene. “By integrating into LendPro\u2019s technology platform, we\u2019re making it even easier for retailers to present real-time leasing options to their customers, ultimately helping underserved consumers complete purchases and retailers grow their business.”<\/p>\n

\u201cKafene brings a proven lease-to-own solution that fills a vital gap for consumers who often fall outside traditional lending criteria,\u201d said Matthew Dishman, CEO of LendPro. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to welcome them into our financing network, helping retailers deliver more approvals, better customer experiences, and greater sales lift. As economic conditions continue to evolve, giving consumers more pathways to purchase is more important than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n
