Choosing the right financial partner for your vehicle purchase is one of the most important decisions you will make as a car buyer.

That’s why we’re excited to announce that Lincoln Automotive Financial Services has been ranked No. 1 in customer satisfaction among premium automotive financing providers in the 2024 U.S. Consumer Financing Satisfaction Study by J.D. Power.

A Testament to Exceptional Service

According to the study, Lincoln Automotive Financial Services excelled in four key dimensions of customer satisfaction. It wasn’t just abor offering digital solutions; it was anchored in trust, tailored support, and personalized service—factors that truly resonate with today’s discerning customers. Participants rated their vehicle financing providers based on their level of trust, ease of doing business, quality of customer service, and digital experience solutions, in addition to how well the loan or lease met their needs.

Lincoln’s achievement is further spotlighted by the outstanding score of 722 out of 1,000, a rating that positions it above formidable competitors like Mercedes-Benz Financial Services and BMW Financial Services.

A Quote from the Leaders

Ford Credit CEO Cathy O’Callaghan expressed pride in their customer-centric approach, stating, “Our team is focused on providing our customers with the best financing experience in the business, and we’re thrilled that customers agree. Whether it’s financing a new vehicle or support during tough times such as natural disasters, every day is another opportunity for our team to provide our customers with the ease, clarity, and flexibility that makes financing with Ford Credit or Lincoln AFS the right choice.”

Responding to Market Challenges

The study didn’t just focus on success stories—it provided insights into the current financial landscape, highlighting the challenges consumers face with high vehicle loan interest rates and prices. J.D. Power noted that only a small percentage of financially vulnerable consumers have the financial buffer required to handle unexpected expenses.

Patrick Roosenberg, Senior Director of Automotive Finance Intelligence at J.D. Power, emphasized, “Auto lenders really need to tailor their offerings for the realities of the current market and recognize that a large portion of their customers may face some very real challenges managing their finances. Lenders need to ensure that their digital bill-pay tools encompass a wide range of options, such as extensions, due date changes, personalized financial planning/budgeting tools, and one-on-one advice to help consumers plan for the future.”

Lincoln Automotive Financial Services leads this charge by placing customer satisfaction at the core of its operations, thus providing you with the peace of mind that your financial experience will be as seamless as possible.
