CIMB Bank Bhd and CIMB Islamic Bank Bhd have unveiled the CIMB 1-Minute Auto Financing InstaApproval, a digital platform that approves auto financing within one minute upon full submission of information and documents.
This marks the latest addition to CIMB’s InstaApproval series, which also features the 1-Minute Home Financing InstaApproval. This series offers a fast, secure, paperless and complete online financing approval process involving, among others, biometric fingerprint identification.
The CIMB 1-Minute Auto Financing InstaApproval is a paradigm shift in approval time for auto financing, which typically takes a day. It reduces customers’ waiting time for the financing decision in the process of purchasing a car. Available for all types of cars, both new and used, the approval comes complete with the issuance of a Letter of Undertaking and instant notification via SMS and email to the customer and car dealer.
Samir Gupta, CEO, Group Consumer Banking, CIMB Group said, “The speedy approval process of CIMB’s 1-Minute Auto Financing InstaApproval, currently the fastest in market, is not only a reflection of our commitment to digital innovation as laid out in our T18 Strategy, but also a great milestone in CIMB’s journey to continuously enhance our customers’ experience.”
“Our InstaApproval™ platform – which cuts down waiting time considerably – was designed around customers’ ultimate convenience. We are confident that the 1-Minute Auto Financing InstaApproval™ proposition will be a game-changer for us and our auto partners, by enabling customers to own their dream car within a minute.”
The CIMB 1-Minute Auto Financing InstaApproval will be available at selected partner showrooms, partner roadshows, as well as selected used car dealers.
