  • AI deal jacket audit

Fairway is title and lien management software for auto lenders. It audits title packets with AI, generates state-specific checklists, fills DMV forms and follows up on missing documents, so liens are perfected faster, operating costs fall and compliance oversight improves.

The challenge

Unperfected liens leave collateral exposed

A lien is perfected only once the lender is recorded on the vehicle’s title with the state. Until then the collateral securing the loan is exposed, and every incomplete or incorrect title packet extends that window.

Requirements differ by state and county, and title work often starts with paperwork prepared by dealers. Fairway replaces fragmented manual workflows with an automation platform designed for lenders.

  • AI deal jacket audit of dealer-submitted packets
  • Checklists for every state, county and transaction type
  • Required forms auto-filled from the documents
  • Automated follow-up with borrowers and dealers
Fairway lien and title workflow for an auto lender
How it works

From funded loan to perfected lien

  1. Receive the packet

    Dealer or borrower documents arrive as a PDF. Fairway identifies each one and builds the checklist for the titling state.

  2. Audit before it goes out

    AI checks the packet for missing forms, signatures and inconsistent data, and flags exactly what needs fixing.

  3. Complete and file

    Forms are auto-filled and missing documents are requested automatically, so the title application reaches the DMV complete and the lien is recorded sooner.

FAQ

Lenders: frequently asked questions

What is lien perfection?

Lien perfection is the step that records a lender as lienholder on a vehicle’s title with the state. It happens when a complete, correct title application is processed by the DMV.

How does Fairway speed up lien perfection?

Most delays come from incomplete or incorrect paperwork. Fairway audits each title packet against state and county rules before submission, fills the required forms and follows up automatically for missing documents, so applications are right the first time.

Can Fairway check dealer-submitted packets?

Yes. Upload the PDF packet and Fairway’s AI deal jacket audit catches compliance errors instantly, before the packet reaches the DMV.

Does Fairway work across states?

Yes. The rules engine covers all 50 states and 3,144 counties, including in-state and out-of-state transfers.

How is borrower data protected?

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is limited by strict role-based controls, and Fairway does not allow its AI providers to train models on customer content.
