Our take
Octane Lending is revolutionizing the financing process within the powersports industry. The company's online platform offers streamlined online financing options and has significantly improved customer experience through its technology-driven solutions.
In addition to its core focus, Octane has expanded its offerings to include recreational vehicles, tractors, trailers and electric vehicles. The company collaborates with over 30 original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and has originated more than $4B in loans through its in-house lender, Roadrunner Financial.
Octane's impressive flurry of funding rounds in 2024 underscores strong confidence in its business model and future growth. The new capital will allow Octane to expand into more markets, all off the back of a milestone year in which it has expanded into marine markets and achieved $5B in aggregate originations.
