Digitize & Scale Secured Auto Finance
One integration connects your bank to every supported dealership — transforming secured auto finance from a manual, paper-heavy process into a fully digital, trackable workflow.
From dealer quotation and finance approval to LPO issuance, payment confirmation, vehicle registration, and asset charge filing — every step is standardized, automated, and audit-ready.
The problem banks face
Secured auto finance is operationally heavy and fragmented. Unlike unsecured lending, it requires official dealer quotations, vehicle-specific approvals, LPO issuance, direct payment to dealerships, registration, and asset charge filing.
To fully digitize this, a bank would need to integrate with every dealership individually — which is commercially and technically inefficient.
Today's reality:
- Manual exchange of quotations, LPOs, and registration documents
- WhatsApp, email, and paper-based back-and-forth
- No standard integration between banks and dealerships
- Delays of days or weeks before vehicle release
- High operational overhead and compliance risk
The Drive Ninja solution
A centralized orchestration layer that connects banks, dealerships, and customers into a single, standardized secured finance workflow.
Banks integrate once
Define credit policy, required documents, LPO structure, and payment rules. Drive Ninja configures the workflow accordingly.
Dealers integrate once
Via API, DMS integration, or a standardized dealer portal. Drive Ninja ensures digital exchange regardless of dealer system complexity.
Drive Ninja orchestrates
Every step is digitally tracked, timestamped, standardized, and visible to authorized parties.
The secured finance lifecycle
Drive Ninja orchestrates every step from vehicle selection to release — all digitally tracked and visible to authorized parties.
Customer selects vehicle
The customer identifies a vehicle through the bank's marketplace or at a dealership.
Dealer issues quotation
The dealership creates an official quotation in their DMS and transmits it digitally to Drive Ninja.
Quote transmitted to bank
The structured quote data is sent to the bank's system via API, pre-populated with vehicle, dealer, and customer details.
Bank reviews and approves finance
The bank's credit engine processes the application using its own policy rules. Approval status is returned to Drive Ninja.
LPO issued to dealership
On approval, a digital Local Purchase Order (LPO) is generated and transmitted to the dealer in their required format.
Bank disburses funds
Funds are transferred directly to the dealership. Payment confirmation is tracked and visible to all parties.
Vehicle registration
The dealer registers the vehicle with the relevant traffic authority. Registration documents are uploaded and verified.
Asset charge filed
The bank files the asset mortgage or charge against the vehicle registration, completing the secured lending cycle.
Vehicle released to customer
With all steps verified and documented, the vehicle is released. The customer tracks every step in their banking app.
