BMW Financial Services and Capital One Auto Finance Rank Highest in Respective Segments

TROY, Mich.: With macroeconomic conditions continuing to make it difficult for auto lenders to maintain or increase profitability, all eyes have turned to digital channels as the most cost-effective and efficient means to do so. According to the J.D. Power 2023 U.S. Consumer Financing Satisfaction Study,SM released today, customers who are digitally engaged have significantly higher levels of overall satisfaction, greater Net Promoter Scores®1 and have a lower cost to serve than customers using tradition channels to manage their accounts.

"In a challenging market, lenders’ focus turns to cost containment and reduction," said Patrick Roosenberg, senior director of automotive finance intelligence at J.D. Power. "The key is to transition the traditional customer experience to a digital relationship. Customers who use their lender’s mobile apps, website and signup for alerts to manage their account are significantly more satisfied and have a lower cost to serve. It’s a win-win situation for both the lender and their customer."

Following are key findings of the 2023 study:

  • Digital engagement is key to customer advocacy: Auto loan brand advocates, or promoters, are 37% more likely to view billing statements via their lender’s app; 38% more likely to pay their bill digitally; 59% more likely to receive digital account alerts; and 48% more likely to contact customer care via the lender’s app than brand detractors.
  • Data security among top concerns for digital customers: Ensuring that personal information is protected is paramount for lenders looking to build digital engagement. One of the major barriers to digital adoption among auto loan customers is that their personal data is secure.
  • Paying bills digitally drives customer satisfaction: Customers who make their auto loan payments via their lender’s mobile app have an average overall satisfaction score of 876 (on 1,000-point scale), which is 66 points higher than customers who pay via check.

Study Rankings

BMW Financial Services ranks highest in customer satisfaction among luxury brands, with a score of 876. Lexus Financial Services (875) ranks second and Chase Automotive Finance (870) ranks third.

Capital One Auto Finance ranks highest among mass market, with a score of 877. Ford Credit (867) ranks second and NMAC (865) ranks third.
