Mobilize Financial Services (MFS) Ireland, Renault Group’s in house bank, lent €22 million in February. This is now €52 million YTD which is up €9 million versus the same period last year. This has been driven by an increase in Renault Group’s market share, a strong performance on LCV with over €20 million lent to SME and business customers and an increase in the mix of their PCP business which has been bolstered by the introduction of more flexible terms to customer agreements.
MFS Ireland will not increase the customer interest rate for the remainder of Q1 despite the recent ECB interest rate increases.
