Something new is on the way for the dealer network. Metro is building a dedicated finance channel — fast decisions, flexible finance and a team who know how dealerships work — backed by a $6 billion loan book.
Driven by Dealers. Powered by Metro.
Your dealership is focused on helping customers find the right vehicle. We’re focused on helping them finance it.
As one of Australia’s leading non-bank lenders, Metro is launching a dedicated dealer channel — bringing responsive service, flexible lending solutions and the technology to keep deals moving to dealerships nationwide.
Together, we’ll help customers get on the road sooner.
Metro combines the service of experienced finance professionals with technology designed to streamline the finance process.
Through our dealer technology integration, dealerships will be able to submit applications, monitor deal progress and receive real-time updates — helping reduce administration and keep customers informed throughout their finance journey.
Behind every application will be a dedicated sales, credit and operations team working together to help dealerships deliver a seamless experience.
In a dealership environment, speed matters. Metro's dealer channel is being built to keep deals moving with responsive credit support, streamlined assessments and efficient approval processes — meaning customers will spend less time waiting and more time moving towards settlement.
When you partner with Metro, you'll be backed by a dedicated team that understands how dealerships operate. From application through to settlement, our sales, credit and operations specialists will work alongside your team, providing responsive support and practical solutions to help keep deals on track.
Every customer has different needs. Metro will offer a range of finance solutions designed to support personal customers, businesses and fleet operators — from consumer vehicle finance to commercial lending — helping dealerships cater to more customers and create more opportunities.
Metro combines the service of real people with the efficiency of smart technology. Our dealer technology integration will give dealerships visibility across applications, so your team can track deal progress and manage finance applications more efficiently — less administration, more time with customers.
We are committed to helping you grow while delivering exceptional solutions to your business.
