Expand Your Indirect Auto Lending Business Without Adding Staff

Many financial institutions do not have sufficient internal staff or the expertise necessary to work with independent auto dealers to grow their book of indirect loans. The Indirect Lending division at Wolters Kluwer Financial Services offers lenders an experienced and knowledgeable team of auto finance experts skilled in executing the indirect lending process as a part of our AppOne  Risk Mitigation Services (RMS).

AppOne RMS services ensure that your institution receives clean funding packages that meet your lending guidelines and stipulations by providing end-to-end management of the independent dealer loan origination process through the AppOne^® technology platform and dealer network.

Reduce Risk and Fraud

AppOne RMS processes are designed to remove business and regulatory compliance risk and fraud from your indirect auto lending operations by providing the following risk mitigation services:

• Dealership due diligence and underwriting – our RECON independent auto dealership underwriting process mitigates the risk of dealership fraud. All dealers must go through an extensive underwriting process using our proprietary risk scoring system prior to being accepted as an AppOne dealer. We conduct a thorough set of credit and background checks, require a personal guaranty from each dealer and conduct site visits and annual reviews.
• Dealer F&I services – we assist dealers with lender program training and rehashing and structuring of deals to ensure lender’s guidelines and requirements are stringently applied.
• Vigilant Documentation services – our staff receives all funding packages from the dealers, performs fraud checks and ensures clean funding packages are sent to each lender. We perform all of the comprehensive screens and checks you expect from your internal resources, including:
  • Identity verification
  • OFAC screening
  • CARFAX check
  • Contract review and validation
  • Identity authentication
  • Tracking and monitoring of any suspicious activity
   
• Verification of lender stipulations – we perform all funding package audits and verifications to ensure compliance with each lender’s requirements.
• Produce fully compliant loan documents
• Conduct Red Flags Audits – we ensure full compliance with identity theft protection procedures and regulations.
