Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
The FUTR Corporation (FTRCF) has named Teddy Auto Group as the first auto dealer partner for its FUTR Agent Leads service. The service launched on November 4, 2026. It uses customers' payment data to identify refinancing or trade-in candidates, with the FUTR Agent App checking interest before dealer follow-up.

Highlights
Teddy Auto Group is the first auto dealer to use FUTR Agent Leads, launched on November 4, 2026
FUTR sees every car payment its customers make, which shows who is ready to refinance or trade in, and the FUTR Agent App can proactively reach out to them
Dealers can bring their cost of acquiring a customer down to zero, provided they earn enough FUTR Tokens by putting new customers on FUTR Payments1
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 11, 2026) - The FUTR Corporation (TSXV: FTRC) (OTCQB: FTRCF) (FSE: QA20) ("FUTR" or the "Company") today announced that Teddy Auto Group, which runs Teddy Nissan, Teddy Volkswagen of the Bronx, Teddy Volkswagen of Queens West and Teddy Autos in New York, is its first auto dealer partner for FUTR Agent Leads. When FUTR launched FUTR Agent Leads on November 4, 2026, it said auto dealers would follow in the fourth quarter. Teddy is the first. FUTR finds Teddy's customers who are good candidates to refinance or trade in, and the FUTR Agent App proactively reaches out to them before Teddy's team calls.
Benefits to FUTR
Delivers on the FUTR Agent Leads launch. Launching with Teddy brings FUTR Agent Leads to car dealers for the first time and gives FUTR a track record to take to its network of approximately 180 dealerships.
More FUTR Payments deals. Dealers earn the tokens that unlock leads by signing up new FUTR Payments customers, giving dealers a new incentive to offer FUTR on every deal.
Customers come back. A customer who refinances or trades in is signed up with FUTR again, instead of leaving when their loan ends.
Stickier dealer relationships. Dealers that rely on FUTR for leads have more reason to keep bringing their deals to FUTR.
More value from FUTR's data and app. Payment data FUTR already collects becomes a product dealers want. Every FUTR Payments customer is already a FUTR Agent App user, and these offers give them new reasons to use the app.
From Distribution Channel to Partner
Until now, dealers have mainly been a way for FUTR to reach consumers. After the sale, the dealer usually loses touch with the customer until they come back, sometimes to a competitor. FUTR Agent Leads reverses that. For example, a customer who bought a used SUV from Teddy two years ago and has paid on time since may now qualify for a better rate or have equity to trade up. FUTR flags them, the FUTR Agent App proactively reaches out to check their interest, and Teddy gets the chance to sell them their next car.
Data Only FUTR Has, and Proactive Outreach to the Customer
FUTR Payments handles a customer's car payments every week or two, so it sees whether each payment clears, how it lines up with payday and how fast the loan is shrinking. A credit report or a dealer's own system does not show this. Every FUTR Payments customer is also a FUTR Agent App user, so the FUTR Agent App can proactively reach out to them there, for example to say they may qualify for a lower payment and ask if they would like a call from the dealer.
A Path to Zero Customer Acquisition Cost
Dealers earn FUTR Tokens for each new customer they put on FUTR Payments, plus a welcome bonus based on recent deals, and spend those tokens to unlock leads. A dealer that earns enough tokens can cover its leads entirely, bringing the cost of winning back a customer down to zero. In effect, the customers a dealer signs up today pay for the trade-in customers it wins back tomorrow.
Three Types of Leads
Credit improvement. On-time payers still on a high rate, such as a customer who bought with a
Equity built. Reliable payers whose car is likely worth more than they owe, who could trade in and use the difference toward a newer car.
Risk mitigation. Customers whose payments have started to bounce, who could be offered a lower payment or a more affordable car before they fall behind.
All leads come from the dealer's own FUTR Payments customers who have consented to share their information. Each week, the dealer sees its token balance and available leads, unlocks the leads it wants, and follows up after the FUTR Agent App has gauged interest. Customers who refinance or trade in are signed up with FUTR again.
"Dealers have been how FUTR reaches consumers. Now we are giving back. We can see which of a dealer's customers are ready for a better rate or a new car, the FUTR Agent App can proactively reach out to them, and a dealer that keeps putting new customers on FUTR can win them back at no cost. That moves FUTR from a product dealers sell to a partner that helps them sell more."
Alex McDougall, Chief Executive Officer of The FUTR Corporation
"When we started offering weekly payments, I said the data behind these deals was valuable. This is what I meant. FUTR can see which of our customers are ready for a better rate or a newer car, and the FUTR Agent App proactively reaches out to them before we pick up the phone. The best lead a dealership can get is someone who already bought from us, and every new customer we put on FUTR helps pay for finding them."
Julio Batista, President, Teddy Auto Group, FUTR Dealer Partner
Roadmap and Outlook
The Company expects more dealers to follow Teddy in the fourth quarter of 2026 and plans to report results as they become available. FUTR also plans to give dealers the FUTR Agent Leads business agent, which briefs salespeople on each customer and lets them practise the call.
