United PanAm Financial flies the choppy skies of subprime lending. Operating through subsidiaries United Auto Credit Corporation (UACC) and United Auto Business Operations (UABO), the specialty finance firm originates, buys, and services auto loan contracts for high-risk customers. The company buys contracts from independent and franchised used car dealers. Most borrowers have less-than-perfect credit histories, which impairs their ability to secure loans. UACC, once heavily localized in California, now has more than 15 offices throughout the country -- a dramatic decrease from what it had only a few years ago. Chairman Guillermo Bron and investment firm Pine Brook Road are buying United PanAm.
