Absa Vehicle and Asset Finance and Cars.co.za recently embarked on a roadshow across South Africa to introduce dealers to a new way of getting high quality, qualified leads.

The two powerhouses in the automotive industry have developed a WhatsApp-driven process that will see interested customers engage with Absa via WhatsApp to test a vehicle's affordability.

On initial approval, the customer is connected with the relevant dealer and given the option to finance their vehicle, with full control and commission remaining with the dealer.
