1. Vehicle Fulfilment Financing Pre-Approvals
The Buy It Smart Vehicle Fulfilment Financing Pre-Approval application service allows consumers in Canada to submit for vehicle financing for the purpose of getting pre-approved from home.
You will need to complete a questionnaire on the website in order to obtain a pre-approval or quote from a fulfilment location or dealer partner. This 27-step application is designed to provide all the relevant information needed for a pre-approval by our Fulfilment Partners and Lenders. Using this information, they’ll be able to offer you details and the next steps relating to the products and vehicles in which you are interested in. Approvals will be determined and inventory that will be offered will be determined by the answers you provide to these questions and only once you get matched with a dealer partner. It is crucial you answer all of the questions honestly, completely, and accurately. Failure to do so could invalidate the auto loan pre-approval you are applying for thus preventing you from getting matched and preventing you from participating in our annual rewards program, Buy It Smart Rewards. Click here to learn more about Buy It Smart.
By submitting an application you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information by Buy It Smart for the purpose of providing information and offers related to the purchase of an automobile. You also consent to Buy It Smart, car dealers, and lenders obtaining credit reports about you to facilitate your application for an auto loan and acknowledge that Buy It Smart, and it’s affiliates may record all communication with them for quality assurance and training purposes.
