Octane has entered a new three‑way partnership with The Huntington National Bank and Husqvarna to power a unified, full‑spectrum retail financing platform for Husqvarna’s outdoor power equipment dealer network. Under the “Huntington Bank Powered by Octane” program, Husqvarna dealers will use Octane’s digital portal to manage the entire sales and finance workflow, with prime loans funded by Huntington and near‑prime offers provided by Octane’s captive lender, Roadrunner Financial, Inc.
The arrangement materially expands Octane’s footprint in outdoor power equipment and deepens its strategic relationship with Huntington, positioning Octane as the core technology and risk engine at the point of sale. Dealers and customers gain short, streamlined applications, near‑instant credit decisions, and flexible term management, which is expected to improve conversion, throughput, and attachment of financing to equipment sales. Executives should view this as a channel‑growth move that leverages Octane’s 50‑OEM, 4,000‑dealer ecosystem to capture more volume in powersports‑adjacent categories, while reinforcing its value proposition as a digital‑first lender and servicing platform for non‑prime and near‑prime consumers.
