Business Wire
DCAP Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: DCAP), the largest chain of independent
storefront insurance agencies in the Northeast, today announced
that its subsidiary, Payments, Inc. completed the sale of its
premium finance loan portfolio to Premium Financing Specialists,
Inc. (�PFS�). In addition, the companies entered into an agreement
whereby loans originated by Payments, Inc. will be sold to PFS
subject to certain conditions. �We are delighted to announce the
completion of the transaction,� said Barry Goldstein, President of
Payments, Inc. and CEO of DCAP. �We are proud to have built a
viable profitable and vibrant finance company from scratch. We
cannot now originate the volume of loans needed to continue our
operations as a full-service provider. The new relationship with
PFS allows Payments, Inc to continue to work with our loyal
customer base, to generate the same loans, but instead of retaining
them for its portfolio, Payments is selling them to PFS, a national
large scale enterprise with detailed knowledge of the local markets
Payments, Inc. serves. In lieu of earning interest and fee income
and absorbing the costs associated, Payments will generate income
which will vary with volume and loan size. The total dollar amount
of the loans sold was $13.1 million including deferred finance
charges of $1.0 million. Substantially all of the proceeds of sale
were used to repay Payments Inc.�s credit line and other
outstanding liabilities with regard to its premium finance
business.� PFS Personal Lines President, Jeffrey Scott, indicated,
�We couldn�t be more pleased to be collaborating with Payments,
Inc. We look forward to providing their customers with the highest
level of service and providing ample capacity to Payments in any
environment.� About DCAP Group DCAP Group, Inc. owns and operates
