              Fraud in the auto industry isn’t just about stolen cars—it’s evolving and becoming more sophisticated, impacting dealerships in unexpected ways.

              This is a must-watch conversation from NADA, where we break down the three major types of fraud hurting dealerships today:
              🔹 Third-Party Fraud – Using stolen information to buy a vehicle. 🕵️‍♂️
              🔹 First-Party Fraud – Misrepresenting personal info to secure financing.📝
              🔹 Synthetic Identity Fraud – Creating entirely new, fake identities to game the system.🆔

                Do better insights into vehicle collateral positively affect loan performance? By leveraging our skills, unique data, and powerful analytic insights, we’ve proved the answer is a resounding “Yes”! We shared our early-stage insights with Lender clients, and used their feedback to refine our analysis and to confirm a high level of industry interest.
