Can a dealership require me to finance a car through them?

Can a dealership force me to use their financing? I am looking at buying a car from a local VW dealership and I got pre-approval from my bank to finance the car. When I told the salesman this, he said I would have to finance the car through the dealership.

However, it might be a mistake not hearing the dealership out before walking away from their
financing offer
. You might be surprised.”
