Live Educational Webinar | October 15, 2026

Illinois dealers are being asked to move faster on every deal while managing more fraud, compliance exposure, and pressure on profitability. In previous IADA webinars, 71% of dealers said they had encountered fraud in the past six months, while 83% worried compliance was evaporating on their sales floor. With FTC scrutiny increasing, small process gaps can carry real consequences.

Join IADA and Curtis Knievel, Vice President of Business Development at Informativ, for a practical look at how Illinois dealerships can stop bad deals before they start, put guardrails around credit pulls, tighten compliance processes, and structure more profitable loan and lease payments that protect both funding and profit.

Automotive News On-Demand Webinar

Most vehicle shoppers ask the same question: Can I afford this car? And with 85 percent of buyers financing or leasing a vehicle, that question is impossible to answer accurately without three things: a credit-qualified interest rate, program and incentive data, and real trade-in value. Most vendors that serve dealers – ranging from digital retailing platforms to artificial intelligence chat agents to marketplaces – can only answer part of that equation. And that costs both dealers and their customers. But this isn’t just a vendor story. Dealerships need to build fundable, compliant lease and loan offers quickly. Informativ’s SmartPencil calculates every lending scenario instantly and includes incentives, rebates, tax, title and license, and more, based on a customer’s credit score and the trade-in value of their vehicle.

Watch this educational webinar featuring Denise W. Branch, Partner at Bass Sox Mercer, former federal prosecutor, and former Chief Legal Officer for a 21-rooftop dealer group, alongside Mark Richardson of Informativ.

Recent FTC warnings to dozens of dealerships made one thing clear: pricing transparency is no longer optional. As regulators sharpen their focus on how payments are presented and how deals are structured, dealers are being pushed to rethink how quickly (and how clearly) they get to a final pencil and today’s customers expect fast, accurate, and transparent lease and finance offers from the very first interaction.

Join Informativ and NADA for this educational webinar to see what payment transparency really means in today’s environment, and how dealers can align speed, accuracy, profitability, and compliance at the desk without adding friction.

The FTC’s March 13 warning letters to 97 auto dealership groups made one thing clear: the collapse of the federal CARS Rule did not end pricing scrutiny.

For automotive software providers, website platforms, digital retailing tools, marketplaces, marketing agencies, and dealer technology partners, that creates a new level of pressure. If your platform touches advertised price, monthly payment, fees, incentives, or lender terms, inaccurate numbers can become a dealer compliance and vendor relationship problem.

Watch this practical conversation between Informativ and Dealer eProcess on how Payments API helps automotive software platforms deliver accurate, real-time, VIN-specific, credit-qualified payments that are built for today’s regulatory environment.
