What is In-House Financing?

With in-house financing, the auto dealership personally lends the money for you to buy the vehicle. Many Canadians misconceive who lends them the finances to buy a vehicle at a dealership. Generally, there are two most common types of auto finance situations.

What is non In-House Financing

This occurs when a third-party lender provides the money for the financing, even if the vehicle is bought from the dealerships. The following lenders can cover a variety of prime lenders including, but not limited to:




TD Bank
RBC
Scotia Bank
Various Credit Unions
BMO
Ford Credit
Ally

There are also non-prime or subprime auto finance lenders:

CarFinco
Scotia Dealer Advantage
TD Non-Prime
Rifco

On purchasing the vehicle, the money is given to the dealership for the vehicle from one of the above (or other) lenders. You then make payments back to the lender for the purchase amount, as well as any extra agreed on fees and interest.

In House Financing / Buy Here Pay Here Dealerships

At times, an applicant will not qualify for any of the available lender’s offers. For a lot of Canadians this is the last resort. That is unless the dealership does in house financing. When a dealership has in house financing they are going to lend you their own money. You will then be paying back to the dealership each month as opposed to a third party lender.
