Frequently Asked Questions

How is KeySavvy different from PayPal and other payment services?

Unlike payment apps like PayPal and Cash App, KeySavvy verifies the seller's ownership, checks for liens, and verifies the vehicle's title. If the buyer pays with KeySavvy, we guarantee that the buyer will receive a clear title to a vehicle they can legally register.

Even when buyers pay their seller with cash or a cashier's check, we are still able to verify the seller's ownership, check for loans and liens, and verify the title.

Does KeySavvy charge buyers a fee?

Buyers pay a flat fee of $49 to verify their seller's ownership and title. There is no additional fee to pay the seller with KeySavvy. When financing the purchase with your own bank or credit union, we charge an additional $49.

Does KeySavvy charge sellers a fee?

KeySavvy does not charge a fee for sellers that have their title in hand. If the seller has a loan, KeySavvy charges $99 to pay off the loan as part of the sale. Seller verification is always free to sellers.

How long does it take to buy or sell a vehicle with KeySavvy?

The seller and vehicle verification process generally takes 5-10 minutes. If the buyer uses KeySavvy to pay online, we usually approve the transaction within 10 minutes.

How do you verify a seller's ownership?

KeySavvy uses third-party identity verification technology to confirm the seller's identity. We then use a combination of public records, seller-provided information, and DMV records to verify that the seller is the legal owner of a vehicle.

We do not share the seller's personal information with the buyer, and we do not share the buyer's personal information with the seller.

How does KeySavvy compare to CARFAX or AutoCheck?

KeySavvy provides a NMVTIS vehicle history report, verifies the identity of the buyer and seller, and checks for loans and liens that would prevent the buyer from registering the vehicle.

CARFAX and AutoCheck provide vehicle history reports, but they don't protect against buyer or seller fraud, or allow buyers and sellers to complete their transaction online.
