Motor finance

Credit training and interim cover for motor finance lenders

Motor finance is a high-volume business where speed matters, but weak decisions show up later in arrears and losses. Tulip helps motor finance teams sharpen credit judgement across consumer and commercial vehicle lending, with training from someone who has made these lending decisions for over 30 years.

Who it is for

Built for motor finance teams

  • Underwriters and credit analysts on consumer and commercial vehicle books
  • Collections and portfolio staff who want to understand how decisions were made
  • Credit and risk managers setting policy and reviewing exceptions
  • Dealer-facing and sales teams who need to understand credit appetite
The challenges

What motor finance teams need to get right

Volume versus judgement

High throughput leaves little time per case. Teams need a sharp eye for the few cases that deserve a closer look.

Commercial vehicle and business customers

Lending to sole traders and limited companies needs real accounts analysis, not just scorecard results.

Information and credit searches

Understanding what bank statements and credit searches do and do not tell you helps catch problems early.

Portfolio quality

Arrears, concentration and the quality of the book depend on decisions made at the point of underwriting.

The training

What delegates work on

Delegates work through real underwriting scenarios, not slides. They leave able to build a credit case and defend it.

01

Information and bank statements

What to look for, and what is easy to overlook, in the evidence customers provide.

02

Credit searches and reporting

Using search results sensibly alongside the rest of the credit file.

03

Asset, supplier, customer

Weighing the vehicle, the dealer or supplier and the borrower together.

04

Assessing risk

Moving from facts on the file to a reasoned lending decision.
