How We Integrate Into Your Ecosystem
Drive Ninja connects to your bank's existing infrastructure — identity, payments, lending, insurance, and CRM — using open standards and proven integration patterns.
Single Sign-On
OAuth 2.0 / JWTSeamless authentication via your existing identity provider
Drive Ninja integrates with your bank's identity provider so customers never need a separate login. When embedded in your mobile app or web portal, the session token is passed seamlessly — users are authenticated the moment they arrive.
- Full OAuth 2.0 (RFC 6749) and JWT (RFC 7519) support
- One time token provided via URL parameter, cookie, or header when embedded in webview/iframe and exchanged by the web client for valid session token
- Token refresh and server-side verification supported
- No separate registration step — valid bank customers have instant access
- Alternative token-based systems supported on a case-by-case basis
Payment Gateway
Redirect / WebhookRedirect-based flow compatible with any payment processor
Drive Ninja doesn't process card payments directly. Instead, we use an industry-standard redirect flow — the same pattern used by Stripe Checkout — that works with your existing payment infrastructure, card processors, or balance-transfer systems.
- Order created via API with amount, vehicle details, and return URLs
- Customer is redirected to your payment environment to authorise
- On completion, customer returns to Drive Ninja with status verified via API
- Supports web URLs and mobile deep links for seamless app integration
- Authorised payments are collected only when the vehicle is ready for delivery
Funds Transfer
REST APINative account-to-account payments using your bank's transfer components
Drive Ninja fully supports payment through fund transfer using the bank's native account transfer components. In order to present customer accounts, an API must be exposed detailing the account name, appropriate identifiers, and available balance. In addition, APIs are required to initiate and collect payment as required in the checkout journey. We have full flexibility on how this is achieved, as it varies based on the bank's desired processes and the chosen checkout journey.
- Full support for account-to-account fund transfers using bank's native components
- API integration to retrieve customer accounts — name, identifiers, and available balance
- APIs to initiate and collect payment at appropriate points in the checkout journey
- Fully flexible implementation — adapts to the bank's processes and checkout flow
- Seamlessly combined with other payment methods in mixed-payment checkout
Loan & Finance Origination
REST APIPre-approvals and applications routed through your credit engine
Finance applications are processed through your bank's own credit engine. Drive Ninja fully integrates into your credit policy and decision engine, optionally collecting required data from the customer and dealer. We use a hybrid approach where we augment the application with vehicle quotes and dealer information, then pass the customer directly into your loan application component — treating it similarly to a payment gateway system. Available financial products, pre-approval status and amounts can be retrieved via API, or embedded into JWT or other tokens based on the bank's systems and preferences. Drive Ninja have full flexibility on most aspects of this integration.
- Full integration into bank's credit policy and decision engine
- Hybrid approach: Drive Ninja augments with vehicle quote and dealer/vehicle data
- Optionally we can integrate directly with decision engine and provide fully integrated application within the auto marketplace
- Similar redirect-based pattern to payment gateway for seamless experience
- Flexible integration options to determine product eligibility, pre-approval amounts and customer status
- Mixed-payment checkout: combine loan, account balance, loyalty points, and card
Insurance Quotation
REST APIReal-time quotes displayed alongside vehicle pricing
For real-time insurance pricing embedded into the application, we require an API which accepts vehicle details and customer ID and returns a real-time price. We can also integrate based on customer profile to provide indicative pricing, or use static pricing based on industry averages. In all cases we can integrate directly with takaful journeys to get a full quote. For non-bank customers (or as required for existing customers) we can collect additional required information in order to provide real-time or indicative pricing as part of the vehicle display.
- Uses API integration for real-time quotation alongside vehicle pricing
- Built-in flows to gather additional customer data if required
- Quote activation via API or redirect-based flow at any time in the research or purchase phase
- Multiple quotes from multiple vendors fully supported
CRM & Analytics
Event APIEvent-driven integration with your customer relationship platform
Drive Ninja includes full integration with Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and other common analytics platforms, providing e-commerce style metrics across the entire automotive purchase journey. Key customer interactions also trigger events in your CRM, giving sales and marketing teams full visibility without manual data entry.
- Full Google Analytics and GTM integration with e-commerce style event tracking
- Complete purchase funnel metrics: browse, compare, enquire, finance, checkout
- Test drive booking, callback requests, and checkout events tracked automatically
- CRM event integration for lead scoring and customer journey visibility
- Built-in analytics platform available for direct use or integration into your BI tooling
Loyalty Points Integration
REST APIFull integration with one or more loyalty schemes
Drive Ninja can fully integrate into one or more loyalty schemes, allowing customers to spend and accrue points as part of their vehicle purchase. For spending points, we need endpoints to retrieve the points balance and monetary value (with any constraints such as min/max spend), authorise the spend, and finalise the spend. Redirect-style flows are also supported. For accruing points, we need an API that shows which points can be earned and, given details of the payment — cash, points, and financial products selected — returns the balance that will be accrued.
- Full integration with one or more loyalty schemes for spending and accruing points
- Endpoint to retrieve points balance, monetary value, and constraints (min/max spend)
- Endpoints to authorise and finalise point spend on vehicle purchases
- Redirect-style flows supported as an alternative to direct API integration
- Accrual API: returns points earned based on payment mix (cash, points, finance products)
Deployment & Management
Managed PaaSFully managed platform-as-a-service with flexible deployment options
Drive Ninja is a fully managed Platform-as-a-Service. We offer flexible deployment options including shared or single-tenancy managed environments, deployment into a bank-provided cloud landing zone, or fully managed deployment onto on-site infrastructure. We manage all aspects of the technical management of the platform — infrastructure, updates, monitoring, scaling, and security — so your team can focus on business outcomes.
- Fully managed PaaS: shared tenancy, single tenancy, or dedicated on-premise deployment
- Option to deploy into your bank-provided cloud landing zone (Azure / AWS)
- All technical management handled by Drive Ninja — infrastructure, updates, monitoring, and scaling
- DNS and SSL certificate provisioned by the bank for custom domains
Cryptography & Data Protection
TLS 1.2+Strong cryptographic controls and data classification
The solution incorporates strong cryptographic controls to protect data throughout its lifecycle. All data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher, and sensitive data at rest is encrypted where applicable. Secure key management, data integrity controls, and non-repudiation mechanisms are built in. Sensitive data classification controls are supported, and data processing environments can be segregated in accordance with client policy. The platform does not store card payment data — payment flows utilise secure third-party hosted checkout mechanisms to minimise PCI exposure.
- Encryption of data in transit (TLS 1.2+) and sensitive data at rest

Typical Checkout Journey
A pluggable checkout model where each financial product — loans, insurance, loyalty, fund transfers — slots in using the same pattern. Every step is modular and adapts to your bank's processes.
Discovery & Selection
Query Available Products
Drive Ninja queries bank APIs for available payment methods, financial products, loyalty balances, and insurance options for this customer and vehicle

Customer sees all eligible products — auto finance, account balance, loyalty points, card payment, insurance — with real-time pricing and pre-approval status
Customer Selects & Allocates
Customer chooses which products to use and, where applicable, allocates the amount for each (e.g. loan amount, points to spend, card balance)
Application & Approval
Open Product Flow
PluggableFor products requiring an application (e.g. loan, insurance), the customer is redirected to the bank's native flow — then returns to Drive Ninja with updated status
