GE Capital's Retail Finance business has extended its agreement with Art Van Furniture for consumer financing through the retailer's 34 stores and online.

The multi-year agreement, backed by GE Capital, Stamford, Conn., was launched in 2009 and will continue to offer a range of flexible payment options and extended terms, including deferred interest programs, through the Art Van Signature Card credit program.

"Our relationship with GE Capital has contributed to Art Van's growth and helped us meet our business goals," said Ken Bussell, director of consumer finance for Art Van, Warren, Mich. "We are pleased to renew our financing program and continue offering our customers the tools and programs they value."

Consumers can use the Art Van Signature Card at any store location and the Art Van Web site to purchase a wide range of living room, bedroom, dining room and family room furniture, as well as mattresses, home office, home entertainment and leather furniture. Consumers can also use the card at any Paul's TV and World of Floors locations in an Art Van store. The company also operates four stand-alone PureSleep bedding stores.

"We are proud to continue leveraging our market expertise and leadership in the industry to provide excellent service for both Art Van and their customers," said Paul Boeckman, vice president, strategic programs, for GE Capital's Retail Finance business. "While we are thrilled this relationship has added to their business success, we see it as just the beginning and want to set the bar higher in delivering customer satisfaction and reaching new buyers."
