Borrowers apply online; Lendbuzz uses data analytics and machine learning to assess creditworthiness beyond conventional credit scores, then coordinates with the car dealership and completes the loan digitally. Unlike traditional lenders, it considers a broader mix of financial and personal data and offers an end-to-end online experience. Its goal is to expand access to auto financing for international students and immigrants by using data-driven credit assessments.
