Epson America, a global leader in printing technology, and CIT Direct Capital, the national digital small business lending unit of CIT Group, today announced a partnership to offer financing for commercial and digital print customers. This partnership will allow CIT Direct Capital to provide Epson dealers, channel partners, resellers, and customers a primary source of financing through a single point of contact.

The partnership allows Epson dealers the capability to provide a uniform online finance option through CIT Direct Capital, delivering better insight into the sales pipeline and increased transparency on transactions. Financing through CIT Direct Capital is a tech-enabled process, allowing customers to apply online in minutes and often get approvals within seconds.
