VEHICLE REMARKETING SERVICES FOR COMMUNITY BANKS

No one addresses the financial needs of a local economy better than community banks. They’re a key part of the local economic fabric, offering a range of services including auto loans and leases. Lending and leasing for vehicles can also involve remarketing off-lease and repossessed vehicles. At the end of those contracts, many community banks simply want to obtain maximum value for the pre-owned vehicles in the most efficient manner.

Depending on the time of year, economic cycle, or leasing trends, the volume of returns can vary significantly, making it difficult for a community bank to efficiently dispose of off-lease and repossessed vehicles. Community banks can eliminate the overhead required to manage these returns by working with a vehicle remarketing service provider.

Measure Remarketing Results and Costs

An effective vehicle remarketing service provides the community bank with detailed reports regarding sales and expenses. Regularly reported information provided to the bank includes:

• Monthly reports regarding sales, services, auction operations, and remarketing effectiveness to monitor efficiency and resale values for returned vehicles
• Quarterly auction statistics ranked and reviewed to determine which auctions or internet services deliver the best sales results

To ensure expenses are in line with results, an integrated, automated monitoring process compares auction expenses against established limits. Whenever an expense exceeds those limits, it is immediately flagged for further investigation.
