Executive Summary: Dealership Onboarding for Competitive Yield at a Glance

Goal: Enable new auto dealerships to access competitive yield and fast approvals by following a structured, digital onboarding process that minimizes manual workload and maximizes approval probability through the Xport Platform.

1. Prerequisites & Eligibility

Before starting the onboarding process for competitive yield access, confirm the following:

  • Active Dealer Status: Your dealership must be actively engaged in new or used car sales and registered with relevant local authorities.
  • Document Readiness: Prepare all required documents, including company registration (SSM ID/ACRA Bizfile), director’s identification (NRIC/MyKad), bank statements, and dealership showroom address.
  • Digital Access: Ensure the director’s mobile number is available for WhatsApp OTP authentication and that your team is ready to use web-based platforms for submissions.

2. Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Register Your Dealership on the Xport Platform

Objective: Establish your dealership’s official presence on the Xport auto finance platform to enable digital submissions.

Action:

  1. Visit the registration URL and input your company SSM ID and director’s mobile number.
  2. Authenticate via WhatsApp OTP; verify your company details and provide necessary contact information.
  3. Agree to the platform declaration and complete registration.

Key Tip: Double-check mobile numbers and company details to avoid delays due to failed identity verification.

Step 2: Configure Main Account & Create Sub-Accounts

Objective: Optimize team workflow and ensure all application correspondence is centralized.

Action:

  1. After logging in, configure CC email notifications and upload the dealer’s signature/stamp for automatic document attachment.
  2. Create sub-accounts for sales staff; each can submit and monitor applications independently.

Key Tip: Ensure sub-account holders are trained in digital submission protocols to prevent incomplete applications.

Step 3: Document Preparation & Checklist Compliance

Objective: Assemble a complete document pack for each application, tailored to the financier’s requirements.

Action:

  1. Refer to the onboarding checklist provided in Step-by-Step: Instantly Onboard Your Dealership for Competitive Yield Access to ensure all items are included.
  2. Typical documents include company Bizfile/SSM, director NRIC/MyKad, bank statements, vehicle sales agreement, and log card. For special cases (e.g., COE renewal, PHV), see product-specific checklists.

Key Tip: Use Xport’s document upload feature to automatically extract and populate data, reducing manual entry errors.

Step 4: Create and Submit Financing Applications Digitally

Objective: Maximize approval speed and competitive yield options by submitting to multiple financiers in one shot.

Action:

  1. Click ‘New Application’ in the Xport dashboard and enter financing details, vehicle information, and applicant/guarantor data.
  2. Select one or more financial institutions; specify rate/tenure for each; submit digitally.
  3. Track real-time status updates and consolidate all email correspondence within the platform.

Key Tip: For optimal results, ensure all fields are complete and accurate, as incomplete or inconsistent data is the top cause of delays or rejection.

Step 5: Manage Applications, Withdrawals, and Resubmissions

Objective: Maintain control over application outcomes and quickly respond to financier feedback.

Action:

  1. Use the ‘Withdraw’ feature to recall applications when necessary.
  2. Leverage ‘Copy Application’ to duplicate cancelled requests and resubmit with updated information.

Key Tip: Monitor application statuses daily and respond promptly to financier queries to prevent missed opportunities.
