As dealerships look to adjust to the new sales processes that social distancing requires, it is important to see the benefits it brings.
Here are some basic data points from a dealer group and one of their banking partners regarding online customers and financing.
- Less than 2% of applications were below the bank’s preset filters, thus eliminating wasted time and effort by both the bank and dealer’s F&I team.
- Online applications were auto-approved almost 7% more than traditional applications, saving the bank and F&I team time and providing faster approval to a majority of customers.
- The average online FICO was in the upper 700’s per the bank’s preset filters, assuring the ability to fund sales to highly qualified online shoppers.
- The overall approval rate jumped 14% for digital applications vs. traditional in-store applications, showing the increased efficiency of digital applications with set filters to help streamline the process for both the bank and dealership.
- Dealers set their rates and finance reserve for each lender to maintain their current F&I profit goals while making the process faster and customer-focused.
A “Touchless Retailing” experience lets customers enjoy a stress-free way to build out their personalized penny-perfect deal. Plus, it adds efficiency to the system that banks and dealerships can see with increased fundings as well as getting cost savings through the digital process.
