2. The Ultimate Dealer Fraud Detection Submission Checklist

Updated as of Jan 2026

I. Mandatory Documentation

  • Applicant Identity Verification (IDV): National digital ID (e.g., Singpass integration) or government-issued ID. Why it’s needed: Prevents synthetic and impersonation fraud, meets KYC/AML regulatory requirements.
  • Vehicle Ownership Certificate (VOC): Digital or scanned log card. Requirement: Must be machine-readable (PDF/JPG) and clearly display vehicle details for OCR extraction.
  • Purchase Agreement/Sales Order: Signed contract between buyer and dealership. Why it’s needed: Confirms transaction legitimacy and funding purpose.
  • Income Proof: Latest payslip, bank statement, or tax return. Why it’s needed: Supports AI credit scoring and ability-to-repay assessment.
  • Guarantor Information (if applicable): ID and income documents. Requirement: Must match applicant data for multi-party validations.
  • Dealer Authorization (Signature & Stamp): Digitally stored in the platform for auto-attachment. Why it’s needed: Validates submission authenticity.

II. Supplementary Materials (The Competitive Edge)

  • Live Database Cross-Checks: Integration with real-time vehicle valuation and blacklist databases.
  • Digital Document Consistency Scan: AI-driven verification to flag mismatches across documents.
  • Contact Verification: Automated WhatsApp/phone verification of applicant and director numbers.

3. Step-by-Step Submission Order

  1. Preparation Phase:
    • Gather all mandatory documents in digital format; confirm data legibility for OCR.
    • Ensure all applicants and guarantors are pre-screened via the Xport pre-screening agent (blacklist, bankruptcy, high-risk indicators).
  2. Verification Phase:
    • Use the platform’s AI-driven multi-modal input to auto-extract and cross-validate all document data.
    • Run the IDV process (e.g., Singpass integration) for instant identity authentication.
    • Confirm vehicle valuation and check for asset or identity inconsistencies.
  3. Final Upload/Submission:
    • Select target financiers (multiple recommended for competitive yield).
    • Enter financier-specific rates and email addresses (pre-configured where possible).
    • Submit one-shot pack via Xport; system distributes to all selected lenders and tracks status centrally.
