At the same time, the program also provides qualified dealers an option to deepen their relationships with such customers. The card offers benefits such as rewards, exclusives and competitive offers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The company said that the plan would be rolled out in October to nearly 400 independent Volkswagen dealerships in the U.S. through their participation in the Volkswagen Service Express program. It believes that the roll out would be completed in early 2015. Customers would get the first available card later in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is expected that the credit card would be an instrument for Volkswagen dealers to be even more competitive to provide their customers with the convenience, exclusive offers for cardholder and more.

Therefore, the deal would provide the company to work with Volkswagen dealer service network with the objective of helping them grow their customer base. Since its strength was working with independent dealers, Citi official said that the relationship would be fruitful for both.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Similarly, Volkswagen Vice President for after sales, Don Stephenson, said that the agreement offers its customers a new financing opportunity through its dealer network. He also expressed his confidence that Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) retail services would be able to offer premium financial products to its customers since they were expert in offering private label consumer financing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boston, MA 09\/17\/2014 (wallstreetpr) \u2013 Diversified financial services provider, Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C)\u2019s subsidiary, Citi Retail Services disclosed that it has a struck a multi-year deal [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":27390,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"twitter_2902945987_2902945987":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[2018,1942],"tags":[2116,1631,9247,9248,1008],"stock_ticker":[],"class_list":["post-31321","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-automobile","category-banking","tag-citigroup-inc","tag-citigroup-inc-nysec","tag-crag-vallorano","tag-don-stephenson","tag-nysec","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
