Xport takes top honours for its AI-driven transformation of automotive finance, as X Star closes the night a double finalist
Xport, the dealer platform from X Star Technology, a leader in AI-driven automotive finance, has won LendTech of the Year at the Asia FinTech Awards 2026, an independently judged program recognising the region’s strongest fintechs.
The company entered the evening as a double finalist, with both Xport and X Credit shortlisted across LendTech of the Year and SaaS Product of the Year, an outcome that affirms the direction it has taken to market.
Where Auto Finance Is Going
Xport won against a competitive field drawn from across Asia, and its approach rests on a clear premise. Automotive finance remains a fragmented business, divided among dealers, financiers, and buyers who seldom operate from a shared view, and it is better served by common infrastructure that every party can rely on.
From Showroom to Approval
Xport is the all-in-one dealer portal that puts the whole auto financing journey on a single platform, connecting dealers and financial institutions for faster, smoother decisions. It captures and structures customer and vehicle information, takes an early read on credit, and matches each application to the financiers most likely to approve it. The impact has been measurable. Within its first months in market, Xport brought more than 880 dealers across Singapore and Malaysia onto the platform and reduced application processing time by over ninety per cent, from around twenty minutes to under two.
X Credit, the decisioning platform for financiers, complements Xport by bringing underwriting, risk-based pricing, and fraud detection into one low-code system that returns decisions in around eight seconds.
What the Win Signals to the Market
For dealers, financiers, and regulators observing the sector, the win reflects a shift already underway across Asia Pacific, where a more connected model of automotive finance is becoming standard practice. The next chapter is scale.
With Xport now established across Singapore, Malaysia, and Japan, X Star is preparing to enter new markets in the years ahead, advancing an ecosystem that grows stronger with every dealer and financier it connects.
This is a milestone, and the work is only beginning.
