Impel and SelectFI Announce Strategic Partnership to Bring Industry-First Financing Intelligence to Automotive AI Agents

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady discusses a groundbreaking partnership in the automotive industry between Impel, a leader in Automotive Artificial Intelligence solutions, and SelectFI, a fintech company specializing in predictive payment technology for auto financing. This strategic collaboration aims to revolutionize the car buying process by integrating SelectFI's payment prediction engine with Impel's AI Operating System. The integration allows dealers to deliver accurate, personalized financing offers through webchat, SMS, and email interactions without human intervention. This innovative approach addresses one of the largest gaps in the car buying process—financing—by providing precise monthly payment estimates and aligning deal structures to lender terms for each individual shopper. The partnership between Impel and SelectFI introduces a fully AI-native solution that overcomes the challenges associated with early-stage financing inquiries. By utilizing SelectFI's custom prediction model trained on actual lender decisioning data, Impel's Automotive AI agents can intelligently engage with prospective buyers, predict monthly payments, and provide individualized payment estimates without impacting the shopper's credit score. This new capability has shown promising results in early pilots, with dealers converting 25 to 35 percent of financing inquiries into qualified showroom appointments. The collaboration not only enhances the customer experience but also improves dealer performance by reducing process friction, shortening sales cycles, and increasing staff productivity.
