Why do we collect and use your personal information?
 
We collect and use your personal information in order for us to provide you with our Car Finance Brokering service.
 
We use your personal information to send marketing communications to you about similar products and services that may be of interest to you. We will send our marketing communications to you by email. It is to be noted that you can object to your personal information being used by us to send you marketing information. Each marketing email will also include an unsubscribe link to enable you to opt-out of receiving future marketing communications.
 
Motorsync Ltd is a credit broker, not a lender. Our rates start from 9.9% APR. The rate you are offered will depend on your individual circumstances. We may receive a commission payment from the finance company we place you with if you enter into an agreement. Any commission received by us will not affect the interest rate you are offered. We will only offer the most affordable acceptance available to you from our lending panel.
 
Motorsync will receive your application and aim to process it and contact you within 10 minutes of application.
 
By processing your application, we will search our extensive panel of lenders to find an acceptance that is right for you. Once you are approved, there is no obligation to purchase a vehicle, if you do wish to purchase a vehicle we are not the supplier, however we will assist you if necessary in your search for a car using our recommended dealer network.
 
Once you have chosen a vehicle, we will liaise with the supplying dealership and gather the documents needed from them to complete your agreement. The dealer will have to meet certain standards in order for us to have confidence in them supplying a car to you.
