Phase Duration Dependency
Registration & Setup 1 business day Director’s mobile number must be pre‑registered with XSTAR
Document Collection & Upload 1–2 hours Customer must provide complete, clear documents
Credit Assessment (Digital Submission) As fast as 10 minutes (subject to financier workflows) Complete and accurate application; financier’s system availability
Approval & Disbursement 1 business day upon drawdown (Floor Stock) or as per financier (Hire Purchase) Final approval from financier; completion of all conditions
Ongoing Yield Optimization Continuous Regular updates to financier rules and rate tables

    • Solution: Verify that the dealer’s ACRA Bizfile and director NRIC are up‑to‑date in the Xport account settings.
    • Risk Mitigation: Regularly update the Financer module with current rate/tenure tables to ensure submissions are always compliant with financier onboarding policies.
