MotoNovo Finance is a motor-oriented consumer finance company headquartered in the UK. Writing over £150m in new business per month, MotoNovo is the second largest motor finance provider in the country’s used car sector. MotoNovo provides finance for customers through a network of car dealers.

In 2012, MotoNovo sought to grow its 6% market share. One of the obstacles to growth was its customer agreement process. Slow, manual and paper-based, the agreement process slowed down the financing process, frustrating both customers and dealers alike. The process also took place in the dealership, offering MotoNovo no control over the signing process and no insight into what the customer saw and did when they signed the finance agreement. These manual customer agreement processes contributed to inefficiencies, inconsistencies in customer experience and an increased risk of fraud. MotoNovo realized that ambitious growth plans weren’t going to be achieved by just hiring more people – they needed to do something innovative. As Dave Briggs, COO at MotoNovo Finance states:

“We were looking to improve on the scalability of the business, the compliant journey for the customer, and the customer experience of interacting with us. We realized that we needed a partner to help us automate some of our customer’s journey and to help bring new technology into the business.”

A Digital Solution

In 2012 MotoNovo engaged with OneSpan to fully digitize the end-to-end finance agreement process. Utilizing OneSpan’s Agreement Automation solution, MotoNovo customers now complete their motor finance agreement via a fully digital journey – at home, or on premises at the dealership. This can be assisted (with the help of a dealer) or unassisted (if the customer would rather enter into a finance agreement without the assistance of a dealer).

By automating the entire customer journey (from application to ID verification to document presentation and signing), the customer experience is enhanced, and compliance is improved. MotoNovo can now be sure that every customer follows a mandated, compliant, digital journey – and they have digital audit trails to prove it if challenged.
