The holiday season, once marked by bustling malls, has transformed into an online frenzy of clicks and carts. But while shoppers hunt for deals, fraudsters are hunting for profits...
For the last 40 years, America’s Car-Mart has held the spot as the largest integrated auto sales and finance used car dealership in the U.S. On top of their large inventory and over 150 dealerships across 12 states, they do all their own underwriting, credit risk analysis and financing.
What was once a face-to-face transaction came to a screeching halt when the pandemic hit in early 2020 – opening up an opportunity to digitally transform the entire company to allow customers to shop inventory and make payments online.
As dealerships across the country closed due to COVID-19, America’s Car Mart was faced with an increased and time-sensitive demand for an online vehicle shopping experience and a self-driven relationship with finance companies.
Providing a superior customer experience in-store was a quality on which America’s Car Mart prided themselves. Therefore, the pressure was on to deliver the same personalized experience on their new digital platforms. As a financier, they had to mitigate the risks of fraud and verify identities with a higher level of assurance, all without impacting the digital experience.
As a result of this, America’s Car-Mart did not want to introduce an authentication service based on passwords due to their poor customer experience, lack of security and associated overhead.
America’s Car-Mart deployed Transmit Security’s Passwordless and MFA Services to their web channel to accelerate their CIAM strategy. Both new and existing customers can now easily create accounts, shop vehicle inventory and start the pre-approval for financing through the customer portal, reducing the risk of fraud and accelerating digital transformation objectives.
“Transmit Security’s Passwordless and Multi-Factor Authentication Services were simple to deploy, and it was the easiest technology implementation in our digital strategy.” – Brad Tomlin, Senior Director of Digital Technology
