Large-bank dealer services (floorplan tooling reference)

Bank of America (Automotive Dealer Services - Floorplan Tools)

Dealer-facing profile: typical fit, operational expectations, and official resources.

Best fit: Dealers already in a large-bank relationship that need auction funding workflows and dealership efficiency tooling.
Watch for: Relationship underwriting and covenants; bank-style reporting discipline.

What dealers should verify before applying

  • Eligible inventory types (retail, wholesale, salvage, specialty)
  • Advance rate rules (by unit type, age, mileage, and source)
  • Curtailment schedule and grace periods
  • Audit frequency and audit method (on-site, virtual, self-audit)
  • Title policy and exception handling
  • Fee schedule (interest, curtailments, late fees, audit fees if any)
Dealer tip: Floorplan performance is judged by net availability (availability after curtailments + audit exceptions), not the headline line amount.
