Dealer-sponsored Payment Protection Program
Protect your customers. Strengthen your portfolio. Build loyalty that lasts.
Unexpected financial hardships happen. Through our dealer-sponsored Payment Protection Program, eligible customers can apply for 0% payment assistance to stay current on their vehicle loan — strengthening the relationship between customer, dealership, and lender.
A run of payments on a car loan: one covered by BufferLoan, the following payments paid, and the loan on track.
Why BufferLoan?
More than payment assistance
BufferLoan isn’t a bank. It isn’t another financing company.
It’s a nationwide Payment Protection Program designed specifically for automobile dealerships that want to protect customer relationships while promoting healthier lending portfolios. When customers encounter temporary financial hardships, BufferLoan provides eligible assistance before a missed payment becomes a larger problem.
Protect customers
Life happens. Job interruptions. Medical emergencies. Unexpected expenses. BufferLoan gives eligible customers access to temporary 0% payment assistance when they need it most.
Strengthen dealer relationships
Customers remember dealerships that stand beside them after the sale. BufferLoan creates an experience customers talk about—building trust, loyalty, repeat business, and referrals.
Support healthier lender portfolios
Helping customers remain current can contribute to healthier loan portfolios, stronger dealer performance, and more productive relationships with finance companies.
How BufferLoan works
The dealership enrolls
Your dealership joins the BufferLoan Payment Protection Program and can offer it to customers.
The customer applies
When an unexpected financial hardship happens, the customer contacts BufferLoan and submits an application.
BufferLoan assists
If approved, 0% payment assistance goes directly to the customer’s automobile lender — and they keep moving forward.
