Buying, Leasing, Trading, Financing Vehicles Online Are Now Viable Consumer Options With DRIVRZ(TM)

End-to-end transaction support, protection and service are key features.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 9, 2021 / PowerBand Solutions Inc. (TSXV:PBX) (OTCQB:PWWBF) (Frankfurt:1ZVA) (“PowerBand“, “PBX” or the “Company“), is a disruptive fintech platform solution leading the transformation of the retail auto industry to an online consumer experience to purchase, lease, trade, and finance vehicles, by affording consumers the same simplicity, confidence, and convenience they have become accustomed to with other major online retail verticals. Online auto services heretofore have been simple “purchase” or “sell” services. DRIVRZ™ is distinctly different offering a 360-degree, protected, full-service, experience including purchasing, leasing, trade negotiating, financing, protection products, home delivery, satisfaction guarantee return policies, transactional support, and ombudsmen resolution services from end-to-end. DRIVRZ™ also gives the consumer to option to work with a local dealer.

“Buying a product online is one thing, but buying transportation online is serious business” said PowerBand’s President Jon Lamb. “The consortium of service providers we have contracted under the DRIVRZ™ Platform are some of the industry’s most experienced and respected entities, which is of paramount importance in making the consumer feel comfortable and confident in transacting tens of thousands of dollars online for their transportation needs.”

The DRIVRZ™ Platform offers the best, bar none, buying power and experience to millions of union and affinity group members.” said John Perez CEO of the CB Auto Group. “Members will have limitless access to the industry’s largest vehicle footprints with over 4,500,000 vehicles. As a two-sided market, the DRIVRZ™ Platform also provides valuable information and transaction potential to thousands of participating auto dealerships who will have the opportunity to work with our union and affinity members.” PowerBand has invested $1,000,000 in CB Auto Group and currently holds 15% of the company, with the expectation of increasing that position in the future.

The Program’s 14-day Satisfaction Guarantee Return Policy, and the trade-in program featuring (i) selling/negotiating services of the consumer’s trade to get the best price possible, and (ii) no negative equity, are attractive features in gaining consumer confidence. PowerBand’s growing influence will afford its customers exceptional “buying” and “selling” power in a fully transparent transaction.
