DIMO, recently announced a strategic partnership with Nations Trust Bank (NTB), to further expand its tailored advisory service for pre-owned luxury vehicle buyers and sellers titled, CARPITAL by DIMO CERTIFIED.

The collaboration with NTB will further add value to the re-investment and financing options for customers seeking CARPITAL’s services by offering an array of financial solutions tailored to their luxury vehicle ownership journey.

Through this partnership, NTB will offer customers, who wish to upgrade, switch, or downgrade their luxury vehicles, a comprehensive suite of financial solutions including competitive lease rentals with expedited processing times. This also includes personalised financing facilities for the next vehicle with a residual value of up to 50% at the last rental, preferential rebates even at the point of early termination, and structured tailor-made payment plans based on the client’s cash flow. 

NTB will provide bespoke insurance solutions for motor and life insurance through an array of insurance service providers, as well as credit cards with special offers for customers and their families who transact with CARPITAL Advisory Services. Another unique feature is that DIMO together with NTB will also provide wealth management solutions to customers exploring investment opportunities with unlocked capital gains as a result of CARPITAL Advisory Services. 

DIMO, in turn, will provide NTB’s private banking clientele with a dedicated CARPITAL Adviser to manage and guide NTB-referred customers, streamlining their luxury vehicle buying and selling process with peace of mind. This includes providing complimentary expert advice for NTB private banking clients, with comprehensive valuations conducted by DIMO’s trained Automobile Experts, ensuring the highest market value for their existing luxury vehicle and timely guidance. A one-year warranty on the engine and gearbox and complimentary access to island-wide 24x7 roadside assistance are some of the value-added benefits NTB customers could enjoy through this partnership. 

DIMO Executive Director Rajeev Pandithage said: “This strategic alliance with NTB significantly strengthens the CARPITAL Advisory Services offering. By combining DIMO’s expertise in carving the nation’s mobility eco-system in terms of luxury vehicle sales and after-sales services with NTB’s diverse financial solutions, we can provide our customers with an unparalleled level of assistance throughout their luxury vehicle ownership journey.”
