Refinance platform leverages a decade of data to match consumers with better loans faster through AI.

CHICAGO, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Auto Approve, the nation's leading digital auto loan refinance platform, today announced that AI now powers every major step of its refinancing processes from finding borrowers the best available rate across 50+ lenders, to processing loan documents quicker and more accurately and getting their deals funded faster.

With over $5.5 billion in funded auto loans across more than 180,000 refinances, Auto Approve has developed its proprietary AI systems using ten years of historical data and more than one million de-identified applications.
"Every loan we process makes the next one smarter," said Jordan Batt, CEO of Auto Approve. "What sets us apart isn't just the implementation of AI. It's the data underneath it. We're training our systems on nearly a decade of auto refinancing outcomes. That's something you can't shortcut."

NOVA — Smarter loan matching for borrowers. Auto Approve's proprietary Network Offer Validation and Allocation (NOVA) system analyzes each borrower's credit profile, vehicle, and loan details against the lending criteria of more than 50 partner institutions to surface the best offers available in real time. NOVA can continuously learn from shifting borrower behavior, credit conditions, and trends in loans funded. The result for consumers: 50% of applicants can now be matched with a refinance loan offer in one click. No additional input required, no shopping from lender to lender.

AVA — Faster, more accurate loan processing. Once a borrower accepts an offer, Auto Approve's proprietary Automated Verification Assistant (AVA) platform takes over the paperwork. AVA uses AI to verify, classify, and process the documents required to fund a loan, reducing processing times by at least a third, getting borrowers to their closing faster. AVA went live in Q1 2026 and represents the company's investment in removing friction from the auto refinancing process for consumers and lenders.

VERA -- AI-powered quality assurance. Auto Approve's Verification and Experience Review Automation (VERA) system uses AI to monitor 100% of calls in which a customer gives consent to ensure compliance, script adherence, and service quality. This solves a common problem in the industry, where a customer may get a different outcome depending on their representative. Auto Approve ensures that every borrower gets a more consistent, higher-quality refinance experience.

In addition, Auto Approve has deployed AI-powered agents that simulate real customer interactions, allowing new hires to build skills in realistic scenarios before ever speaking with a live borrower. The result: onboarding time has been cut in half without compromising the customer experience. Next, the company will extend its AI agent capabilities to handle routine customer service inquiries and prequalify prospective borrowers, making the refinancing process faster and simpler from first contact.

The Data Behind It All. Auto Approve's AI capabilities are built on a proprietary dataset that most companies in the space simply don't have; ten years of lender decisions, loan performance history, customer documents, and call recordings across more than one million applications. This data trains and refines NOVA, AVA, and the company's broader AI systems — and it compounds with every new loan.

"AI is only as powerful as the data that fuels it," said Bob Sides, CTO. "For nearly a decade, Auto Approve has built a comprehensive dataset covering the full lifecycle of auto refinancing that forms the foundation of the advanced AI capabilities we're delivering today."

Auto Approve is an AI-powered auto refinancing platform that helps consumers find lower rates on their car loans. The company matches borrowers with optimal offers from a network of 50+ lending partners — including credit unions, banks, and specialty finance companies — and manages the full process from application through funding, title transfer, and DMV coordination Auto Approve has originated over $5.5 billion in loans, carries a 4.7-star customer rating and a BBB A+ rating, and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.
