News ReleaseAgora
Agora Data, inventor of many subprime auto industry firsts, has filed a U.S. patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for a proprietary data-driven business model that may be leveraged to predict the future performance of subprime consumer loans. Applying certainty to loan payment outcomes of a previously unreliable market segment helps to reassure capital markets of results, empowers auto dealers and finance companies with access to new funding channels, and promotes fair lending practices. Agora Data’s innovation is unique for the auto industry, resulting in a win-win-win solution for financial institutions, loan originators, and consumers. Daniel Burke, Chief Information and Strategy Officer, and Chad Stilwell, Chief Technology Officer at Agora Data, are the architects of this first-ever business modeling for the subprime market segment. Their new-to-the-auto-industry model works to identify performance and risk by evaluating loan characteristics and alternative data with a high degree of accuracy. The multi-dimensional model powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning performs thousands of simulations daily on every loan and is backtested on over $15 billion of subprime data. Lenders and auto dealers can now predict loan performance and use the information to make better decisions and optimize business operations. “Agora’s proprietary modeling produces loan performance results for an asset class previously considered volatile and risky,” said Burke. “The revolutionary approach delivers dependable calculations similar to results observed in prime asset classes.” “Predicting the unpredictable is a breakthrough for the subprime auto industry,” said Stilwell. “Historically, subprime lending has been difficult to predict due to the reliance on traditional credit scoring models and unfavorable underwriting guidelines. Advanced modeling using data-driven analytics represents the future of subprime lending and opens a large asset class to the broader market.” About Agora Data, Inc: Agora Data’s platform delivers a suite of tools to empower Buy Here Pay Here dealers and finance companies to finance subprime customers. Agora’s family of auto finance products provides a wide range of critical funding paths so originators can obtain the cash they need to fuel growth, compete, and build wealth. Powered by patent-pending technology, originators now have access to robust data analytics and planning resources to help optimize the performance of their portfolios. Agora Data made history by closing the first-ever Crowdsourced Subprime Auto Securitization in 2020 and followed that up with its second transaction in early 2021.

Wheaton World Wide Moving held its third annual Van Line Summit & Awards Gala on Thursday, March 3, during which Wheaton Vice President of Operations Ron Borkowski announced Martin “Marty” Sopko as the winner of the van line’s 2022 Lifetime Achievement award. Growing up in the household goods moving business around his father taught Sopko to employ discipline and strive for excellence during every move. He has driven for Wheaton since 1970 via his family’s business, Sopko Moving & Storage of Mannville, N.J., which has been an interstate agent for Wheaton since 1957. “You won’t find this gentleman boasting on himself,” Borkowski said. “That’s not his style. He has that unassuming, helpful personality that customers love.” For fifty-plus years, Wheaton customers have been the benefactors of Sopko’s steady, superior service. “My goal is simple,” Sopko said. “Always do the best I can to ensure we end up with a happy customer. Keep them coming back.” That mindset has earned him countless Wheaton Driver of the Month awards in addition to being named Wheaton’s Driver of the Year in 2004. Sopko has moved countless VIPs for Johnson & Johnson, including a former CEO three times. His hard work and quality service over the many years have no doubt earned Wheaton untold repeat and referral customers. He is a valuable member of the Wheaton team and is highly deserving of the Lifetime Achievement award.
