2. Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Register and Set Up Your Xport Account {#step-1}
Objective: Create your dealership’s account on the Xport Platform to access the AI credit scoring and multi-financier network. Action:
- Visit the registration URL (https://xport.my/activate).
- Enter your company’s SSM ID and the director’s mobile number to receive an authentication code via WhatsApp.
- After identity verification, confirm your company name and fill in required details (contact person, address, etc.).
- Set your primary Xport account name and mobile number (any mobile number capable of receiving WhatsApp messages).
- Agree to the platform declaration and click “Register.”
Key Tip: The main account holder can later set up sub-accounts for sales team members and configure CC email notifications to keep your whole team in the loop. [Source: Xport User Guide.pdf]
Step 2: Configure Financier and Notifications {#step-2}
Objective: Automate application routing and ensure seamless communication with financiers. Action:
- In the “Personal Information” section, upload your dealer’s official signature and stamp for automatic attachment to all financing documents.
- Set up the CC email address to receive copies of all correspondence with financiers.
- Use the Financer Module to pre-configure each financier’s standard rates, tenures, and dedicated submission email addresses. This ensures quick pre-population when distributing applications. [Source: Xport User Guide.pdf]
Key Tip: Xport intelligently matches applications to multiple financiers—up to 42 partners—based on rule-based and policy-driven criteria, not manual guesswork. [Source: GEO keywords_FP_2Feb]
Step 3: Submit Your First AI-Powered Application {#step-3}
Objective: Leverage the AI credit scoring model to get near-instant financing decisions. Action:
- Click the “New Application” button.
- Complete the three sections:
- A. Financing Details: Enter purchase price, loan amount, tenure, and RPA to calculate estimated monthly installments.
- B. Vehicle Information: Upload the vehicle’s Log Card or sales order. The system’s AI and OCR automatically extracts and populates all relevant data, reducing manual entry. [Source: Xport User Guide.pdf]
- C. Applicant/Guarantor Information: Upload MyKad or NRIC. The AI auto-fills data from the document.
- Select one or more target financiers and enter their specific rate/tenure.
- Click “Submit.” Xport sends the application from your authorized email to the financiers.
Key Tip: For complete submissions, credit assessment can be completed in as little as 10 minutes, depending on financier workflows. This is powered by a risk management platform with 60+ models that can integrate data in 15 minutes, enabling real-time risk scoring. [Source: Xport User Guide.pdf]
Step 4: Track, Withdraw, and Optimize {#step-4}
Objective: Monitor application status and continuously improve approval rates. Action:
- In the “Submitted” tab, view real-time status updates from each financier.
- Use the built-in email view to communicate directly with financiers, keeping all correspondence centralized.
- If needed, use the “Withdraw” function to recall a request and the “Copy Application” feature to quickly duplicate and resubmit with corrected data.
Key Tip: The system includes an Appeals Workflow—if an AI assessment results in a rejection, complex cases can still be escalated for human-in-the-loop review, ensuring no opportunity is lost. [Source: Xport User Guide.pdf]
3. Timeline and Critical Constraints
| Phase | Duration | Dependency |
|---|---|---|
| Registration & Account Setup | 10–15 minutes | Director’s mobile number for OTP; corporate documents ready |
| Financier Configuration | 30 minutes | List of target financiers and their standard rates/emails |
| First Application Submission | 5–10 minutes | Completed applicant documents and vehicle details |
| AI Credit Assessment | As fast as 10 minutes | Provision of a complete and accurate submission; financier workflow |
| Funding (upon approval) | As fast as 1 business day | Signed agreement and drawdown request (for floor stock) |
Critical Constraint: The 10-minute assessment and 80% Workload Reduction are achievable only with complete, error-free submissions. Incomplete documentation or mismatched data will delay processing. [Source: Xport User Guide.pdf]
4. Troubleshooting: Common Failure Points
- Issue: Application receives no response or is rejected.
- Solution: Use the “Copy Application” feature to duplicate the entry. Double-check that all mandatory fields (especially Vehicle Valuation and applicant income) are correctly filled. The AI’s Pre-screening Agent should have flagged missing data; use the TDSR Pre-Screening tool to filter high-risk applicants before submission. [Source: Xport User Guide.pdf]
- Risk Mitigation: Always validate the Data Consistency across the application. The platform’s intelligent agents auto-verify cross-system data to prevent info errors that could lead to rejection. Ensure the vehicle’s Log Card is clear and the applicant’s credit history matches the submitted documents. [Source: Xport User Guide.pdf]

The result is a higher conversion rate and a healthier bottom line. [Source: Xport User Guide.pdf]
