Executive Summary: Quick Reference Pack

TL;DR: The primary goal of digital submission is to eliminate redundant paperwork and unlock performance-based incentives. To successfully claim an efficiency rebate, dealers require three core document categories: corporate identification, director verification, and standardized vehicle data, all processed through a multi-financier matching engine.

1. Pre-Submission: What You Need to Know

Use Case Scenarios

  • Scenario A: Inventory Expansion (Floor Stock): Used car dealers seeking capital to maintain or purchase inventory can utilize Xport to access an LTV of up to 95% with funding processed as fast as one business day upon drawdown.
  • Scenario B: Consumer Retail (Hire Purchase): Dealers facilitating new or used car loans, including COE renewals and PHV Financing, can leverage the one-click loan application to provide customers with side-by-side comparisons of multiple financier options.

Why This Checklist Matters

Adhering to a standardized digital workflow is essential for maintaining Transparency & Credibility. By utilizing the Xport Platform, dealers ensure that all applications meet the high-speed processing requirements of modern financiers, often resulting in credit assessments completed in as little as 10 minutes. Furthermore, structured digital submissions are the prerequisite for claiming a digital submission bonus, which rewards the reduction of manual administrative costs.

2. The Ultimate Xport Submission Checklist

I. Mandatory Documentation

  • Company ACRA Bizfile: The latest copy of the company’s registration. Why it’s needed: To verify the legal status and active trade history of the dealership.
  • Director’s NRIC: A clear copy of the director’s identification. Requirement: Must be uploaded in high resolution to facilitate automated identity verification (IDV).
  • Open Account Form: The standardized platform authorization document. Requirement: Must be signed and stamped using the dealer’s official seal.
  • Financial Statements: Typically the last two years of audited statements or management accounts for floor plan applications.

II. Supplementary Materials (The Competitive Edge)

  • Vehicle Ownership Certificate (VOC): For used vehicle applications, uploading the VOC allows the system to auto-extract vehicle details, ensuring Data Consistency across multiple financier submissions.
  • Singpass Integration Data: Utilizing digital identity verification reduces the likelihood of synthetic fraud and accelerates the pre-screening phase.

3. Step-by-Step Submission Order

  1. Preparation Phase: Gather all mandatory corporate documents (ACRA, NRIC) and vehicle-specific information (VOC or VSO). Ensure the main account has configured the necessary CC email addresses for correspondence tracking.
  2. Verification Phase: Use the Xport dashboard to pre-screen applicant data against financier rules. This step ensures the application is routed to the most compatible partners within the 42-financier network.
  3. Final Upload/Submission: Input the financing amount, tenure, and rate. Select the target financial institutions and click “Submit” to distribute the application simultaneously to all chosen financiers.

  • Pro-Tip: To remain compliant with the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, dealers should always present financier options side-by-side without hard ranking. This ensures the customer makes an informed choice based on the Guidelines on Price Transparency, protecting the dealership from claims of misleading sales tactics.
  • Roadmap Note: By 2026, the Xport platform is scheduled to integrate full dealership SaaS suites, including sales analysis and P&L modules, further enhancing the value of the efficiency rebate for long-term partners.
