Streamlining Auto Finance Operations with Turnkey Print and Mail Solutions

The pandemic dramatically reshaped the auto finance industry with its need for eye-catching and engaging customer communications. The last few years have resulted in a heightened demand for vehicle ownership, a reduction in manufacturing and an increase in unemployment, creating a unique communications landscape to navigate. For many auto finance lenders, business is booming. However, rapid growth can also come with costly distractions, as vital business processes such as acquisitions, collections and compliance vie for your attention and resources.

Outsourcing the production of print-mail and electronic customer communications to FSSI can eliminate these growing pains and help you stay focused on building your business. We have over 40 years of print-mail outsourcing experience and are the only provider offering a bundled, highly-scalable turnkey solution that’s tailor-made for both fast-growing and well-established lenders.

The Current Auto Finance Industry

Managing and producing monthly statements can be costly, time-consuming and diverts your office staff from strategic business management. With auto finance companies regaining the majority of total vehicle financing in 2023, there is an even greater need to regain time and control. Here’s why:  

Industry Growth

The number of car loans for new, leased and used vehicles is on the rise, with an increased demand for electric vehicles and refinancing opportunities contributing to industry growth.

• 13.7 million consumers hold a traditional installment loan
• 6.5 million consumers are in the prime or better risk tier
• 2.3 million new auto loans each month

Operational Efficiency

Auto finance companies have an opportunity to reduce operational costs and improve productivity while meeting their customers’ billing and communication needs.

Compliant Communications

Partnering with a document outsourcing provider ensures that critical communications are compliant with the latest regulations and guidelines impacting lending operations.

Customer Satisfaction

Providing excellent customer service extends beyond the initial auto purchase to include every interaction, including the timely delivery of monthly statements and notices.
