Beginning this month, South Dakota will take their lien and title notification processing online. Lenders doing business in the state will be able to receive electronic notices of titles with liens, instead of paper titles, and release liens electronically, using DealerTrack's ELT Direct solution.

In addition, DealerTrack has been approved to offer its ELT Direct product in Wisconsin.  The state plans to begin rolling-out its ELT program in phases and expects to offer a complete ELT system later this year.

DealerTrack's ELT Direct eliminates the receipt, management, and handling of paper titles throughout the term of a loan or lease. Using this comprehensive software solution, lenders can easily automate what was previously an extremely manual, time- and resource-consuming process. As a result, lenders can reduce internal processing costs and fraud, as well as eliminate "lost titles."

"The use of electronic lien and titling is continuing to grow, as more states realize the benefits," said Kathy Kassinos, vice president and general manager, DealerTrack. "As an experienced and proven automotive retail partner, DealerTrack can deliver real value to lenders looking to implement electronic solutions for lien and title management."

Currently, DealerTrack's ELT Direct solution is offered in the following states: Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii (Oahu), Idaho, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and Washington.
