NEW YORK, March 12, 2026 — Octane® (Octane Lending, Inc.), the fintech company unlocking the power of financial products for retailers and consumers, and The Huntington National Bank (Huntington) announced a new partnership with Ariens and Gravely — makers of outdoor power equipment (OPE) — to deliver an innovative, full-spectrum financing and technology experience to dealerships and customers.
The Huntington Bank Powered by Octane program allows Ariens® and Gravely® dealerships to use a single platform to manage the entire sales and financing process. This streamlines the buying process for both dealers and customers from prequalification through closing. Qualified applicants will receive prime options through Huntington, while near-prime financing offers will be provided by Octane’s in-house lender, Roadrunner Financial®, Inc.
“We’re excited to team up with Huntington to bring a faster, easier financing and technology experience to Ariens and Gravely outdoor power equipment dealerships across the country,” said Jon Vestal, EVP and General Manager of Recreational Lending at Octane. “This program aligns with Octane’s strategy of finding innovative, technology-forward finance solutions that support our partners in a broad range of markets.”
“This partnership delivers the speed and simplicity dealers need at the point of sale,” said Tim Skinner, managing director of consumer lending at Huntington. “Combining Huntington and Octane’s capabilities allows companies like AriensCo, the manufacturer of Ariens and Gravely equipment, to quote, reach a decision and close quickly, all within a single application, providing a competitive advantage for dealers and a more confident buying journey for customers.”
The Huntington Bank Powered by Octane Dealer Portal uses the same technology as Octane’s innovative dealer portal. Dealers and customers can move more quickly through the finance process with short and simple loan applications, near instant credit decisions, and a streamlined way to manage loan terms and documentation. Dealers can customize terms, manage workflow with user-friendly navigation, and move customers seamlessly through the finance journey.
“We are excited to pioneer the Huntington Bank powered by Octane program for our customers and dealers,” said Emily Hoyer, Director of Credit at AriensCo. “With the fresh approach they are bringing to retail financing, we will be able to provide our dealers with significant advantages in both approval rates and efficient processes, which will change the landscape of how dealers have traditionally viewed financing.”
