The auto finance industry in general represents $55 billion in loans to consumers each year, according to Experian in 2012. The sub-prime market segment contributes about half of this financing and is growing each year. The profitability of these loans has provided a higher margin than non-subprime lending because of the 1 in 4 Americans that are under banked, therefore willing to pay higher interest and fees to obtain transportation. These facts have peaked the interest of large traditional lenders and non-standard lending companies.

This growing interest in the sub-prime lending market will bring new technologies that will provide new risk scoring models that will cut the sub-prime interest rate by as much as 50%. Additionally, the use of data sharing companies like FairLoan, who share payroll information with lenders, will also impact the ability for sub-prime lenders to offer lower interest rates.

To prepare for these trends current sub-prime market lenders need to increase staff efficiency to control operation costs though more efficient loan servicing and collection practices.
