Foreign Business Professional Program

Foreign Business
Professional Program

Volkswagen Financial Services

Having access to a vehicle is part of the American experience, and the public transportation system isn’t always conducive to living in the States. It is also understood that the credit system isn’t built to support people when they don’t have established US-based credit. Here at Jim Ellis Volkswagen Kennesaw, we are proud to offer the Volkswagen Foreign Business Professional Program. This program provides access to incentivized rates and enhanced credit tier consideration. For foreign business professionals with no credit history or limited credit history, this program is an excellent opportunity to acquire a new vehicle on favorable terms by leveraging their hard work and dedication to their job.

Please note that this is not a same-day process. All verifications must be completed to secure approval before the paperwork and purchase can be completed. If interested, please complete the form here or contact Jim Ellis Volkswagen Kennesaw at 770-370-3615.
