The automotive loan approval process has improved greatly over the last decade. With online processing and configurable loan origination software systems, lenders and their technology partners are helping dealers sell cars more efficiently and create more satisfied customers for the long haul.
The loan funding processing, however, has lagged behind and is just now catching up.
What are the top three funding pain points for auto dealers?
- Speed of funding. Dealers that overnight loan documents have to wait for lenders to receive them, physically review them for accuracy and validity, and manually input the information from the contract before receiving their funds. The quicker the documents get to the lenders and the information is verified, the better.
- Cost, security and timing of shipping. Dealers that overnight are at the mercy of a shipping service. If the cost of overnight shipping rises, dealers have to pay it. If the shipping service doesn’t run on weekends or evenings, they have to wait until the next business day. Lost or stolen documents can further delay the funding process.
- Cost, security and storage of legal documents. Dealers that create duplicate copies of legal contracts and other supporting loan documents and physically retain them incur costs for printing, paper, file folders and storage space, and have to question: Where will it all go? How long should they keep it? Are the copies secure?
