Ekho

Ekho is a new entrant into the industry technology field.

Westlake Portfolio Management

Westlake Portfolio Management, LLC, is a privately held California limited liability company that will service consumers whose retail installment contracts are originated and fully owned by third parties.

WPM is a wholly owned subsidiary of Westlake Services, LLC dba Westlake Financial Services (“WFS”). WFS is a licensed lender in all 50-states and services its own portfolio as a first-party creditor. By contrast, WPM is not a lender and will not purchase or have any ownership in the retail installment sales contracts that it will service. 

Instead, WPM will service retail installment sales contact as a third-party collector on behalf of the creditor in exchange for a servicing fee and other terms specific to WPM’s servicing agreement with that creditor.
