New Caterpillar Payment Program Offers Customers More Flexibility

October 26, 2005 — Caterpillar customers now have a new flexible payment option: The Cat AccessAccount is a revolving charge account that enables customers to pay for parts, service, and rentals at participating Caterpillar® dealers throughout the United States.

 

"The Cat AccessAccount is an innovative solution that delivers added value to the customer," said Steve Gosselin, Caterpillar vice president with responsibility for the North American Commercial Division. "It gives our national and regional customers another platform to help simplify their business while also increasing efficiency.”

 

The new program gives customers — ranging from large national accounts to individual owner-operators — one account for purchases, whether they do business with a single Caterpillar dealership or multiple dealers. In addition, the Cat AccessAccount provides customers with flexible payment options and greater e-commerce capabilities, enabling them to view detailed information on all purchases and to make payments online. Customers can also receive hard copy statements detailing all of their purchasing activity. Signup for the program is available online at www.cataccessaccount.com.

 

"We are excited about the opportunities the Cat AccessAccount will provide for Caterpillar dealers and our customers," said Cat Financial President Kent Adams. “The Cat AccessAccount offers customers competitive interest rates, flexible repayment terms, and online account accessibility 24 hours a day.”

 

As part of the Cat AccessAccount debut this week, the No. 22 Caterpillar car will have a special paint scheme, featuring the Cat AccessAccount signature blue color and graphics during the upcoming Bass Pro Shop's MBNA 500 NASCAR Nextel Cup Race scheduled for Oct. 30, 2005, at the Atlanta Motor Speedway.
