[HOUSTON, TX – December 17, 2024] – National Lenders General Agency, LLC, a subsidiary of MEI Group, is thrilled to announce the addition of William “Bill” Murphy to the company. Bill, a beloved industry

veteran and former Air Force pilot, has signed an Agent contract to represent National Lenders and Empire’s programs in the Buy Here Pay Here (BHPH) space. Based in Texas, Bill’s arrival marks a major step forward for National Lenders/Empire as it solidifies its position as the leader in CPI programs for BHPH auto dealers and lenders.

Bill Murphy’s name is synonymous with innovation in CPI. With decades of dedicated service to BHPH dealers, Bill played a pioneering role in developing CPI as a product tailored to protect dealerships and enhance their profitability.

Bill took a deep dive into the company’s CPI program—and emerged convinced. After rigorous research and firsthand investigation, he now unequivocally endorses National Lenders/Empire as the most efficient, cost-effective, and regulatory compliant CPI program in the industry.

“I’ve spent my career advocating for BHPH dealers,” Bill shared. “When I saw how National Lenders/Empire’s program delivers real results—protecting businesses, streamlining operations, and creating new revenue opportunities—I knew I had to be part of it. Their commitment to this industry is unmatched, and I’m proud to join a team making such a positive impact.”
