Pre-approval, a free service by Suretys, calculates the maximum amount a borrower can comfortably pay each month according to their financial history and our proprietary algorithm. Knowing their pre-approved amount, auto buyers can shop confidently knowing which vehicles to buy and what deal to strike. When a buyer selects a vehicle, the pre-approval is converted to a signature-ready policy. Pre-approval helps lenders attract first-time Millennial and Gen-Z buyers to their institutions and increases the chances that they will become auto finance customers.
Lenders make money with Suretys by approving loan and lease agreements that are protected from losses due to defaults over the covered period. Turning declines into approvals, writing more loans for first-time buyers, converting those buyers into longer-term customers, increasing loan officer productivity, and closing more deals than lenders who do not offer Suretys.
