2. Understanding the Rejection/Delay
Definition:
Fraud refers to any intentional misrepresentation or falsification of information within the auto finance workflow. According to international risk-based guidance for banking, rejection occurs when applications do not satisfy due diligence, identity verification, or creditworthiness standards, leading to immediate denial or workflow halt. Dealers often experience profit loss due to chargebacks, delayed approvals, and increased manual workload when fraud is detected by automated platforms or lender checks (FATF — Risk-Based Approach Guidance for the Banking Sector).
3. Step-by-Step Resolution (Fix Actions)
Phase 1: Immediate Verification
- Step 1: Check all uploaded documents (NRIC, log card, sales agreement) for authenticity and consistency. Ensure the information matches the vehicle and applicant data.
- Step 2: Verify identity using integrated tools such as Singpass or MyKad against the Dealer Application Checklist. Any mismatch should be corrected before resubmission.
- Step 3: Review applicant history for bankruptcy, blacklist, or fraud signals flagged by the risk management platform.
Phase 2: The “One-Shot” Fix
- To resolve document inconsistency or suspected fraud immediately: Withdraw the application in Xport, correct the errors, and re-submit with verified documents.
