ARLINGTON, Texas, June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Agora Data, Inc., a leading non-prime auto fintech platform, today announced a strategic partnership with GWC Warranty, a trusted leader in vehicle protection solutions for over 30 years. The partnership gives used-car dealers streamlined access to vehicle service contracts (VSC) and guaranteed asset protection (GAP) without adding complexity to the funding process.
Through the partnership, Agora dealers can offer eligible customers VSC and GAP products through the AgoraCapital platform. The integrated offerings help dealers optimize every sale, protect backend profitability, and improve the buying and vehicle ownership experience for consumers.
For dealers, VSC and GAP coverage remain important tools for revenue generation and customer satisfaction. The collaboration enables dealers to offer products that help consumers manage unexpected repair costs and address potential account balance deficiencies if a vehicle is totaled or stolen, while maintaining clean deal structures and predictable funding outcomes.
“Dealers want to sell backend products that drive customer satisfaction and ensure loan performance,” said Jeremy Beck, EVP of Revenue Operations and Head of Sales at Agora. “This partnership with GWC Warranty supports that objective by aligning trusted protection products with how dealers operate in the real world: efficiently, transparently, and with a focus on long-term performance and customer confidence.”
GWC vehicle protection solutions designed to enhance consumer confidence with day 1, mile one coverage, the freedom to travel worry-free with the flexibility to choose any licensed repair facility, and the assurance that only GWC’s products carry the MotorTrend® Recommended Best Buy designation for independent dealers. Combined with Agora’s data-driven platform, the partnership aims to reduce friction across the car-buying lifecycle while supporting stronger outcomes for both dealers and drivers.
“VSC and GAP products play an important role in helping consumers stay on the road and protect their investment,” said James Virgoe, SVP and Managing Partner, GWC Warranty (an APCO Holdings brand). “Working with Agora Data allows us to support dealers with vehicle protection solutions that are easy to explain and cover a wide range of vehicle types and buyer needs.”
The partnership reflects Agora’s continued focus on delivering value-added solutions that help its dealer network sell more cars, protect lifetime profitability, operate more efficiently, and reinforce consumer confidence in a competitive automotive retail environment.
The integration is expected to be available to dealers in Q3 2026.
