JM&A – JM&A Group, one of the largest independent providers of finance and insurance (F&I) products in the automotive industry, is bringing the Virtual F&I playbook, model and strategy to all of its existing dealer customers across the country.
We view Virtual F&I as the long-term solution for dealers interested in making an investment in the development of an omnichannel approach to vehicle sales.
Since 2018, JM&A has been vigorously piloting and testing Virtual F&I with five different dealership groups in the market.JM&A’s Virtual F&I has supported more than 1,000 virtual deals while maintaining profitability per vehicle retailed and selling an increased number of products per deal. While this new model has been an evolution and a learning process, dealers who have partnered with JM&A have seen great gains both from a business perspective and in customer satisfaction during the pilot phase.
