NCC launches NCC Connect(TM) to put credit, fraud, and compliance Inside the CRM dealers already use. Jul 23, 2026, 17:04 ET A powerful new solution that embeds credit access, fraud detection, and compliance directly into the dealership's existing CRM - removing the system-switching that slows deals and exposes dealers to risk. AUSTIN, Texas, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ - NCC, a leading provider of credit and compliance solutions for automotive dealerships, today announced the launch of NCC Connect(TM), a powerful platform that runs credit, fraud, and compliance from inside the CRM a dealership already uses - without friction or duplicate entry. "Dealers don't need another system to log into," said Brian Skutta, President and CEO of NCC. "They need the tools they already have to work better together. NCC Connect puts credit, fraud detection, and compliance right where the team already works - inside the CRM they use every day." As deals grow more complex and fraud more sophisticated, dealers are juggling more disconnected systems than ever - the CRM, the credit system, the compliance tools - switching between them on every transaction. Each switch breaks momentum, invites a skipped step, and slows the path to funding. NCC Connect meets this moment with a single, seamless solution that keeps the full credit, fraud, and compliance engine right where the team already works. Why NCC Connect Matters Right Now * Dealers lose time and margin switching between the CRM, credit, and compliance systems on every deal * Auto lending fraud continues to climb, with industry fraud exposure reaching a record $10.4 billion in 2025, according to Point Predictive's 2026 Auto Lending Fraud Trends Report * State compliance is tightening, with laws like California's SB 766 (CARS Act) taking effect October 1, 2026 * Every disconnected step is another chance for an error, a delay, or a deal that stalls before funding These pressures are forcing dealers to consolidate, and NCC Connect delivers the edge. Product Highlights: * Inside the CRM - Soft-pull and hard credit access from all three major bureaus - Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax - without leaving the workflow * Fraud & Identity Built In - Identity verification and synthetic fraud detection delivered within the credit pull, flagging Red Flag conditions before the deal moves to funding * Compliance on Autopilot - FCRA and FTC controls with automatic, audit-ready documentation stored in the deal record * 99.99% Uptime - The industry's highest, so the platform is there when a deal is on the desk NCC Connect runs soft-pull pre-qualifications and hard credit pulls from any bureau or score model without leaving the CRM, while customer data stays inside the existing CRM structure. Every credit, fraud, and compliance result is captured on the deal record - giving dealers a single, audit-ready source of truth and a faster, cleaner path to funding. NCC Connect extends the same powerful, credit-first engine behind NCC's Complete Credit(TM) platform into the CRM where dealers already work. For dealers, that means more approvals, stronger fraud protection, and faster funding, without changing how the team works.
