Lender Partners · Pre-funnel access to qualified borrowers

Reach qualified buyers
before they hit F&I.

AVA™ dealerships generate 350K+ credit-qualified leads a year, segmented by Prime, Subprime, Newcomer, and Negative Equity. Match your loan products to the right borrower the moment they raise their hand — not after F&I submits to four other lenders.

The F&I submission problem

By the time the deal hits F&I, you're already competing on rate.

A buyer fills out a credit app at the dealership. F&I submits to four lenders simultaneously. The fastest approval at the lowest rate wins. You're not differentiating on relationship, segment expertise, or product fit — just speed and price. The deal you should have won goes to whoever was 30 seconds faster.

RACE TO BOTTOM

Rate races kill margin

F&I submits to four lenders at once. You lower your rate to win. Margin compresses. Repeat.

SEGMENT MISMATCH

You see the wrong borrowers

F&I submits everyone. You see a flood of applications, most outside your sweet spot. Your underwriters waste time declining.

NO UPSTREAM VISIBILITY

You can't pre-position

You learn about the buyer when F&I submits. By then, the dealer has already pitched a payment built around a competitor's rate.

How the lender partnership works

See the borrower the moment they soft-pull. Not after F&I submits.

When a buyer completes an AVA™ soft-pull credit qualification — through a dealer's website, a QR code in the showroom, or VeriDrive at the desk — AVA™ classifies them by buyer type and matches them to lender products that fit. As an AVA™ Lender Partner, you get first-look access to the buyer segments you specialize in, before F&I assembles a competing-lender stack.

What lender partners get

Built for lender underwriting teams.

Pre-funnel access, segment matching, and a compliance package that fits your workflow.

PRE-FUNNEL ACCESS

Pre-Funnel Buyer Access

See credit-qualified buyers when they soft-pull, not when F&I submits. Hours or days earlier. Sometimes weeks earlier for buyers who are still researching.

What this means

Position your loan product before competitors are even in the conversation.

SEGMENT MATCHING

Segment Matching

AVA™ classifies every buyer as Prime, Subprime, Newcomer, or Negative Equity at the moment of credit pull. You receive only the segments your products fit.

What this means

Stop wasting underwriter time declining buyers outside your sweet spot. Get only buyers you actually want.

INTENT SIGNALS

Intent Signals

Beyond credit score: debt utilization, current vehicle, equity position, vehicle interest, payment range. Real intent, not just a score.

What this means

Underwrite faster and price more accurately. The buyer signal is richer than a bureau pull alone.

LENDER-READY IDV

Lender-Ready IDV Reports

Government ID verified, biometric matched, fraud-flagged, and packaged in a single one-click compliance report your underwriting team accepts.

What this means

Skip ID due diligence. The package shows up complete.

GEOGRAPHY FILTERS

Geography Filters

Filter by state/province, urban/rural, dealer license type. AVA™ covers US and Canada; you receive borrowers from the territories your charter covers.

What this means

No leads outside your lending footprint. No wasted spend.
