U.S. Bank Equipment Finance and Konica Minolta Medical Imaging offer new financing program

MINNEAPOLIS (June 11, 2014) -- U.S. Bank Equipment Finance and Konica Minolta Medical Imaging (KMMI) announced a new financing program tailored for KMMI channel partners and their healthcare customers. This new program offers KMMI resellers and customers a streamlined application and approval process, lease calculation tools, and direct access to a dedicated U.S. Bank support team.

By combining KMMI’s digital radiography products with the financing expertise of U.S. Bank Equipment Finance, this program offers channel partners an enhanced opportunity to increase sales and market share and gives medical customers a simple and cost effective way to acquire KMMI medical imaging systems.

“KMMI has a very important role in delivering products and solutions to help hospitals and medical practices work more efficiently. Our new financing program, tailored to the needs of KMMI and its channel partners and customers, will make it simple for the medical world to adopt these critical technologies,” stated Anthony Cracchiolo, CEO and President, U.S. Bank Equipment Finance.

“Healthcare is changing, and hospitals and clinicians are being asked to do more with less. The cost of technology is rising at the same time that reimbursement rates are decreasing or remaining constant,” says Joe Giordano, Vice President of Business Development at Konica Minolta Medical Imaging. “Konica Minolta is committed to helping our channel partners and customers address this changing environment through value-added services. Our alliance with U.S. Bank is one way we can mutually strengthen our partnership and help our customers cost-effectively meet their imaging needs.”
