Independent finance provider MotoNovo has begun a rewards incentive programme for dealer personnel.
Called MotorV8, the scheme replaces traditional voucher incentives with a pre-paid Visa card for participating members. Current rewards programme members are being transferred to the new system.

Each finance transaction will increase the funds available on the card with a range of ways for dealers to increase the value of their rewards, including gambling them on a web-based game of Black Jack at the MotorV8 portal.
MotoNovo has grown its market share of the independent sector from roughly 3% five years ago to 10% at present and the changes to its dealer reward programme follows recent news of a £1.8m investment by parent WesBank and plans to expand the company.
