Income paperwork delays shouldn’t be what slows down your next sale. But for many auto dealers, they still are. This new guide from Plaid explores how auto dealers can stop paperwork delays and tackle fraud to keep deals moving.

• Rising fraud: Fake paystubs and forged documents are increasingly common, putting dealers at risk for costly repossessions and bad debt.
• Operational drag: Every paperwork delay cuts into staff time and margin. Teams spend hours chasing documents instead of closing deals.
• Hybrid buying models: Car shoppers increasingly want to buy from a car dealership where they can start the buying process online.
