AutoGravity partners with US Bank

Using the tool, customers pick their car and select a dealership online; apply for a pre-approval for a US Bank loan online; and then close the loan at the dealership and take ownership of the car.

John Hyatt, executive vice-president, consumer dealer services, for US Bank, said: “We want our customers – both car buyers and dealerships – to have the best, most seamless experience possible.

“This technology helps us get the buyer in the driver’s seat sooner and brings pre-approved customers to the dealership.”

US Bank’s digital loan platform is currently available via its website for those individuals looking to buy a new car through dealerships served by US Bank.

It will expand to the bank’s mobile app and be available to used car buyers and co-applicants in the coming months.

Andy Hinrichs, founder and CEO of AutoGravity, said: “Together, AutoGravity and US Bank have taken the first step on a journey to revolutionize the digital car-buying experience, empowering US Bank’s customers to finance their next car in minutes, anytime and anywhere they want.”
