"We can now offer vehicle shoppers instant credit approvals and a firm financing offer completely online, from anywhere. We are making a concerted effort at TD Auto Finance to create the best possible experience for our dealer partners and their customers. Consumers expect the brands they work with to be tech-powered, online, and accessible, and we see no reason why automotive financing shouldn’t be the same."
