INDIRECT AUTO
RATE MONITORING™ SERVICE
Description
Preiss&Associates' Indirect
Auto Rate Monitoring™ Service monitors indirect
auto loan portfolios of financial institutions
and captive finance companies on both a
dealership and loan basis. On a dealership
basis, Preiss&Associates monitors the frequency
and magnitude of the difference between the buy
rate and contract rate charged protected class
applicants versus non-protected class applicants
to identify dealers that may have frequency or
magnitude issues. On a loan basis, Indirect Auto
Rate Monitoring‘ uses regression analysis to
monitor for possible problem loans regardless of
the dealership.
