According to the J.D. Power 2018 U.S. Consumer Financing Satisfaction StudySM, Southeast Toyota Finance ranks No. 1 among mass market brands. Satisfaction is calculated on a 1,000-point scale and Southeast Toyota Finance received a score of 870.

The study, which measures overall automobile consumer satisfaction with banks and captive finance companies, evaluates website experience, billing and payment process, onboarding process, origination process and mobile app experience. The study not only analyzes consumers' perceptions of their provider's ability to meet their expectations, but also identifies critical metrics that represent best practice performance targets for satisfying consumers.

"We are honored to have our collective investments in people, processes and technology earn us placement on top of the industry," said Dan Chait, president of Southeast Toyota Finance. "This award is validation that together we can positively impact our consumers' experiences with, and loyalty towards, the Toyota brand."
