Hyundai Motor America chooses Sunbit as its preferred financing technology partner

Sunbit’s consumer financing technology eliminates the #1 reason for service deferrals

Hyundai Motor America has selected Sunbit, the company building financial technology for everyday expenses, as its preferred financing technology partner for all Hyundai dealerships across the US. To date, Hyundai’s eastern region has leveraged Sunbit on the service drive, and the additional six geographies will roll out in the coming months.

Sunbit’s technology drives revenue on the service drive by eliminating the number one reason for service deferrals. Participating Hyundai service drives have already realized significant returns, with Hyundai $16M in parts and service revenue with Sunbit in 2022, with 290 Hyundai dealerships deployed[1].

“Not only does the Sunbit consumer financing technology produce tremendous dealer satisfaction, it also offers a very quick and easy process that approves 9 out of 10 Hyundai customers,” said Dave VandeLinde, vice president after-sales, Hyundai Motor America. “Because it greatly contributes to better customer service and loyalty, we are very excited about the future of this partnership and the opportunity it provides for our customers and dealerships.”

Providing fair, fast financing options to virtually every customer needing service and repair is critical to the success of a dealership’s service and repair department. Sunbit’s technology offers access to financing for service drive expenses between $50 and $10,000, with 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18-month payment plan options[2]. All qualified applicants get access to a 3-month 0% APR at participating merchants only[3]. Sunbit technology powers the simple 30-second application process with a 90% approval rate which is among the highest in the industry.

“Sunbit has been working with dealerships in their auto service drives since 2016, and every year our momentum in the market is much stronger,” said Gunnar Winckler, Head of Automotive OEM and Dealer Platform partnerships, Sunbit. “Dealerships across the country realize that their customer relationships and bottom line can benefit exponentially from the right partnerships. I believe our relationship with Hyundai will help foster better customer experiences, and both the dealerships and customers will win.”

Hyundai dealerships that join the Sunbit program can take advantage of an exclusive signup bonus from June 1, 2023, to July 31, 2023.* Sunbit provides all the necessary training, certification, and promotional materials for Hyundai dealership service advisors, so they have the tools to offer Sunbit’s flexible consumer financing solution to each customer who visits their service centers, helping more people stay on the road safely and stress-free.
