If you currently sign into AFC, TradeRev or any other KAR Global platforms with a KAR ID, then you already have one created.

SSO allows users to sign into various software platforms with one user ID and password.

KAR ID will:

• Enable you to log into multiple KAR Global platforms to access all your remarketing needs with one username and password so you don’t have to maintain separate credentials.
• Access to enterprise-level identity and access security (provided by Okta)

If you already have a KAR ID, you will need to go through the linking steps to link your KAR ID to your ADESA.ca username. Find more details on how to link your KAR ID in this FAQ under What are the steps to link my KAR ID?
