Fraud prevention in the automotive and equipment industry
Double leasing occurs more frequently than you would think. To provide a safeguard against this cost trap, the Association of Austrian Leasing Companies (VÖL) and KSV1870 have brought together their know-how and developed a powerful tool: the KSV1870 AssetDatabase is a centralised register containing all recorded motor vehicles and equipment assets. Its purpose is to warn banks, leasing companies, insurers and pawnbrokers against fraud attempts.
This nationwide, unique data pool in Austria is entirely committed to integrity and fraud prevention. It can be used to identify attempted fraud even before the final contract is set up.
- The database currently includes 400,000 assets.
- Around 10,000 queries are handled every month.
How to protect yourself against fraudsters
The AssetDatabase is a centralised register where motor vehicle and equipment assets and/or their financing facilities are recorded.
Use this database to check quickly and conveniently whether a financing facility has already been taken out for a vehicle. Doing so will allow you to identify and avoid any fraud attempts early on and save yourself the related trouble and any consequential losses.
How the database works
Before requesting a facility to finance a car, enter the vehicle's identification number in the AssetDatabase. If the vehicle has already been entered in the register, you will be shown the essential data. The original filer will be informed of any incoming query and receive the contact details of the party making the query. This deters both parties from attempting fraud.
