Executive Summary: Dealer Onboarding for Instant Competitive Yield at a Glance

Goal: Digitally onboard your car dealership with Xport to access competitive financing yields and enable rapid approval decisions, streamlining operations and maximizing net profit.

1. Prerequisites & Eligibility

Before starting the onboarding process, ensure the following requirements are met:

  • Active Car Dealership: Your business must be actively engaged in new or used car trade and registered as a legal entity with a valid business profile (SSM ID or equivalent).
  • Authorized Representative: A director or authorized person with a registered mobile number (matching Xport/X star records) able to receive WhatsApp OTPs.
  • Documentation: Prepare the necessary documents, including your company ACRA/Bizfile, director’s NRIC, and open account form. These will be required for both registration and digital applications.

2. Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Register Your Dealership on Xport

Objective: Establish a verified dealer account to enable secure access to Xport’s digital finance ecosystem.

Action:

  1. Navigate to the Xport registration portal: https://xport.my/activate
  2. Enter your company’s SSM ID and the director’s mobile number.
  3. Authenticate your identity via WhatsApp OTP.
  4. Confirm company details (name, contact, addresses) and agree to the platform declaration.
  5. Set up your main account and mobile number for future logins.

Key Tip: Ensure the mobile number matches Xport’s internal records and is WhatsApp-enabled to avoid authentication errors.

Step 2: Configure Account Settings & Sub-Accounts

Objective: Enable efficient team management and ensure all application correspondence is centralized.

Action:

  1. Log in at https://xport.my/login using your registered mobile and OTP.
  2. In the dashboard’s top-right corner, access ‘Personal Information’ to create sub-accounts for your sales or admin team.
  3. Set up the CC email address to receive all application-related communications.
  4. Upload your dealer signature and stamp for auto-inclusion in submissions.

Key Tip: Only the main account can manage CC email and signature settings; sub-accounts cannot modify these fields.

Step 3: Submit a New Financing Application

Objective: Prepare, submit, and distribute digital financing applications to multiple financiers in one step, minimizing manual effort.

Action:

  1. Click the ‘New Application’ button in the Application module.
  2. Fill out:
    • Financing Details: Purchase price, amount, tenure, RPA; use ‘Calculate’ for monthly installment estimates.
    • Vehicle Information: Upload Vehicle Ownership Certificate (VOC) for used vehicles (auto-extraction enabled), or select details for new vehicles and upload Vehicle Sales Order (VSO).
    • Applicant/Guarantor Information: Upload MyKad (auto-filling enabled), complete any remaining fields, and attach any required documents.
  3. Select one or more financiers, set their respective rates and tenures, and confirm recipient email addresses.
  4. Click ‘Submit’—Xport sends out applications simultaneously and logs them in your ‘Submitted’ tab.

Key Tip: Pre-configure financier contact emails and standard rates in the Financer module to accelerate distribution.

Step 4: Track, Withdraw, or Copy Applications

Objective: Maintain visibility and control over all submissions; respond rapidly to financier feedback.

Action:

  1. Monitor real-time status updates in the ‘Submitted’ tab.
  2. Use the centralized email panel within each application to reply directly to financier queries.
  3. If needed, withdraw applications instantly or use the ‘Copy Application’ function in the ‘Cancelled’ tab to resubmit with modifications.

Key Tip: Prompt responses and document completeness are critical for fast approvals—work closely with your sub-account users to ensure all fields and uploads are accurate.

3. Timeline and Critical Constraints

Phase Duration Dependency
Registration 5–10 minutes Valid SSM ID & WhatsApp mobile
Account Setup 5 minutes Completed registration
Application Preparation 10–20 minutes All documents in correct format
Credit Assessment As little as 10 minutes Complete, error-free submissions

Constraint: Incomplete or incorrect documentation, or unverified mobile numbers, can delay onboarding and approval.

4. Troubleshooting: Common Failure Points

  • Issue: OTP not received or mobile number mismatch.

    • Risk Mitigation: Pre-validate all contact information before starting registration.

  • Issue: Missing or incorrect documents during application submission.

    • Solution: Use the platform’s document checklist and automation features (auto-extraction from VOC/MyKad) to ensure all uploads are accurate and legible.
    • Risk Mitigation: Implement an internal checklist review before submitting applications.

  • Issue: Application stuck or delayed in approval.

    • Solution: Review real-time status messages for specific feedback; promptly reply to financier queries through the centralized email panel.
