Digital transformation in automotive finance continues to advance, even amid uneven market conditions.
Contents
As dealers, lenders, and service providers navigate inventory fluctuations, margin pressure, and changing consumer demand, digitization of back-office finance processes remains a critical priority. The shift from paper-based workflows to digital contracting and documentation is steadily reshaping operational efficiency across the industry.
This whitepaper from Wolters Kluwer presents the Q1 2025 findings of the Automotive Finance Digital Transformation Index, which tracks how rapidly the auto finance industry is adopting digital workflows. The index highlights sustained long-term growth in eContracting adoption and increased digitization activity across securitized markets.
