GreenSky, Inc. (NASDAQ: GSKY) and the Electric & Gas Industries Association (“EGIA”) today jointly announced a multi-year expansion of their existing relationship, whereby GreenSky has become EGIA’s exclusive first-look financing provider for its network of tens of thousands of contractors. Since its inception, EGIA’s financing program has facilitated in excess of $4.5 billion of commerce.

“We are delighted to expand upon our longstanding relationship with GreenSky, the nation’s leader in point-of-sale credit for the home improvement industry,” said Bruce Matulich, EGIA CEO & Executive Director. “After years of partnering with GreenSky and several other prime credit providers, it became clear that GreenSky’s technology, tools, service and commitment to continuous improvement was the best value proposition for our network of home improvement contractors. This will allow our network of contractors greater accessibility to the kind of point-of-sale promotional financing that will make energy efficiency upgrades and other home improvement projects more affordable and more accessible for homeowners.”

David Zalik, CEO and co-founder of GreenSky, added, “We have enjoyed a long and mutually beneficial relationship with EGIA and its member contractors, and this long-term exclusive partnership is a natural evolution of our relationship. We look forward to continuing to support EGIA members’ consumer financing needs, as well as collaborating with EGIA in connection with its best-in-class industry education forums.”

GreenSky’s status as the exclusive first-look partner for EGIA also positions it to take a key role in EGIA’s new OPTIMUS program. OPTIMUS is a contracting industry first – a best-in-class point-of-sale home improvement financing and leasing platform that gives contractors and their customers the highest approval rates possible by providing the ideal financing solution for every job and every credit profile.
