Now car buyers can see if they pre-qualify for credit online, directly from a dealership, manufacturer or marketplace website

London, Ontario, July 6, 2023 - The teams at AutoVerify, Equifax Canada and TD Auto Finance are excited to announce the release of AV Pre-qualify, a ground-breaking product that addresses a critical pain point expressed by consumers: uncertainty about what they can afford to spend on a vehicle.

AV Pre-qualify is an enhancement for the entire Canadian automotive industry. It allows users to determine the amount they can borrow and also see if they qualify for an auto loan from TD Auto Finance, right from an online listing on an OEM website, dealership website, or marketplace.

AV Pre-qualify empowers dealers, manufacturers, lenders and marketplaces to create an enhanced customer experience by providing consumers with the information they need to feel confident and empowered in the car buying process.

At the same time, vehicle sellers receive valuable consumer-led leads, which are powered by data from industry-expert Equifax, and showcase the most comprehensive credit information available in the Canadian market.

"We are thrilled to introduce AV Pre-qualify and are looking forward to offering this game-changing product to dealers, manufacturers and marketplaces across Canada," says Keith Murray, AutoVerify CEO. "This product addresses the pain points expressed by consumers and leverages the expertise of Equifax to provide the most comprehensive credit information available. AV Pre-qualify signifies our commitment to enhancing the car buying experience by enabling transparency, convenience, and informed decision-making."

The enthusiasm is shared by the Equifax team. "We are excited to contribute to the transformation of the car buying experience through AV Pre-qualify," says Sue Hutchison, President of Equifax Canada. "Using our extensive data to help power consumer auto pre-qualifications, we are providing transparency to car buyers and empowering dealerships, manufacturers, and marketplaces with the most comprehensive credit information available in the Canadian market."

In June 2023, AV Pre-qualify was launched as part of Kijiji Canada's Lead Driver Bundle with pre-qualifications being completed by TD Auto Finance.

TD Auto Finance is pleased to be involved. “AV Pre-qualify is will enhance how the industry engages with consumers and provide financing options, ultimately streamlining the overall vehicle-buying journey,” says Gino Caputo, Senior Vice President and Head of TD Auto Finance.
