HOW DOES VINLOCK WORK?
VINLock's process is straightforward:
VINLock partners share vehicle data with VINLock for free, and in exchange, they gain a greater level of security over their assets.
-
All funded vehicle data is entered into the VINLock database, and if the lender so chooses, PPSAs are registered.
-
Vehicles are checked weekly against the Provincial Registries for Ownership changes. All ownership changes are reported to the lender.
-
VIN data is shared with VINLock partners* and used to ensure vehicles are not being converted, exported or double financed.
-
Before or during events that could impair a lender’s security, VINLock is consulted, and the appropriate steps are taken to prevent loss.

"CARS, TRUCKS and heavy equipment stolen from Ontario have been seen – sometimes still with Ontario license plates – in Russia, Ukraine, Sweden, Bosnia, Croatia, the Netherlands, China, Thailand, and across Africa and the Middle East."
