Market Scan, a part of S&P Global Mobility, provides real-time lease and finance payment calculation and digital payment solutions to car dealers, OEMs, and lenders.
What you do with it
calculate and deliver accurate, up-to-date payment figures across manufacturers, banks, and credit unions via API, so they can show shoppers penny-accurate payments online or in-store without manual rate lookups
When a dealer or digital retail platform needs to present financing and lease options to shoppers in real time
power a modernized, digital retail experience through integrated payment and rebate data, so they can keep retail operations running and competitive without rebuilding payment infrastructure from scratch
When a dealer is disrupted by market events such as COVID-19 or a shift to e-commerce
process high volumes of payment calculations across thousands of dealerships through standardized API integrations, so they can support enterprise-scale digital retail partnerships with a single trusted data source
When an OEM, lender, or platform partner needs a reliable payment data backbone at scale
Community evidence → Stable
The DealerRefresh community recognizes Market Scan as a high-scale, infrastructure-level payment calculation engine, citing 200 million daily payments across 10,000+ dealerships and multiple partnership integrations with platforms like Fastlane, FRIKINtech, and TagRail. Its API is described as a common backbone that multiple competing products have built upon, suggesting broad industry trust in its data accuracy. However, at least one community voice explicitly calls it 'expensive overkill for a single dealership,' indicating that its value proposition skews toward enterprise, multi-rooftop, or platform-level buyers rather than independent dealers. Overall sentiment is positive at the platform and partnership level, with cost-to-value concerns raised specifically for smaller operators.
