LendPro is not a lender. It is the SaaS orchestration layer retailers use to route a single application across multiple lenders.

"Shoppers are already asking AI where to buy. The question for retailers is what happens next," said Matthew Dishman, President and CEO of LendPro. "Our plugin connects that intent to a store and a pre-approval in one step. The shopper learns their buying power, and the store knows about it before they walk in."

How shoppers use the LendPro ChatGPT plugin

1. In ChatGPT, select LendPro from the available plugins.

• 2. Include @LendPro and describe the purchase and location, for example:
• "@LendPro Where can I finance a sofa in Houston, Texas?"
• "@LendPro Find a tire shop offering payment plans near ZIP code 77356."
• "@LendPro What financing programs does this store offer?"

3. Choose a participating store and say "I want to apply" to receive a secure application link.

4. Complete the application on LendPro's secure site. Personal information is entered there, not in the chat.

5. Depending on the store's lender lineup and each provider's decision, one application can return multiple offers.
