AutoImport Lab works with TBI Bank to offer its customers a financing solution tailored to the purchase of imported and reconditioned premium cars. The goal is clear: to make a certified-quality vehicle accessible through a simple, digital and transparent application process.
What the partnership with TBI Bank means
TBI Bank is a credit institution active in the markets where we operate, including Italy and Romania. Thanks to this collaboration, anyone who chooses a vehicle from our catalogue can consider dedicated financing directly within the purchase journey, without having to approach several parties separately.
Being a partner means that the financing application is integrated into our purchase experience: the customer chooses the car, receives a transparent quote and can start the application with the support of our team. The assessment of the application and the definition of the economic conditions remain the exclusive responsibility of TBI Bank.
Financing designed for imported and reconditioned cars
AutoImport Lab vehicles are not generic used cars. They are premium cars imported from US and international auctions, subjected to a rigorous reconditioning process: a 47-point inspection, OEM parts, a technical dossier signed by the Chief Mechanic, a 12-month warranty and the right of return. Financing through TBI Bank is designed precisely for this type of purchase, namely a vehicle that is verifiable and documented at every stage.
For the customer, this means being able to spread the investment in a higher-segment car over time, while maintaining the same transparency that characterises every stage of our work.
Digital application and fast response
One of the main advantages of this collaboration is the digital handling of the application. The application can be started online, with no travel and no long waits at the counter: documents are submitted in digital format and the process proceeds in a traceable way.
Response times are generally short and the preliminary outcome arrives quickly. Actual times may nonetheless vary depending on the documentation provided and the checks carried out by TBI Bank.
How the financing process works
The journey is straightforward and consists of four main steps.
1. Choosing the car
The customer identifies the desired vehicle in our catalogue, with access to the technical dossier, the history and the complete documentation of the vehicle.
2. Financing application
With the support of our team, the application to TBI Bank is started digitally, submitting the required documents. At this stage the desired amount and term are indicated.
3. Approval
TBI Bank assesses the application and communicates the outcome. If approved, the customer receives the economic conditions of the financing (amount, term and repayment plan) defined directly by the institution.
4. Delivery
Once the financing is finalised, the vehicle is delivered, complete with warranty and all the required documentation, including the registration formalities and, for the Romanian market, the obligations relating to RAR (Registrul Auto Român) and ITP (Inspecția Tehnică Periodică) in accordance with the applicable regulations.
The benefits for the customer
- Transparency: in line with our philosophy, every item in the quote is clear from the outset, with no hidden costs on our part.
- Tailored instalments: choosing the term and amount allows you, at the application stage, to aim for an instalment compatible with your budget, within the limits of the institution's approval.
- A single point of contact: our team accompanies the customer from choosing the vehicle to delivery, integrating the financing application into the journey.
- Digital and fast: less bureaucracy, short response times and online handling of the application.
