Mobilize Financial Services (MFS) Ireland, Renault Group’s in house bank, lent over €11 million in September with €4 million of that lent to local businesses and SMEs purchasing light commercial vehicles. MFS Ireland recently introduced new and more flexible terms on their PCP finance product catering for durations from 24 through to 48 months. The results to date found that 1 in 3 took durations outside of the market standard 36 months allowing customers more flexibility on payment terms and better planning to suit their needs.
Patrick Magee, County Operations Director, Renault Group:
“A great result in September for the Renault Group on the podium with 10.2% market share. Our award-winning vans are continuing to perform well coming in second position and Master was the best-selling van last month. The benefit of having our very own finance arm has helped our customers not only access funding but at competitive interest rates and durations as well. Dacia Sandero and All New Jogger are continuing to be popular models with the Irish driver with savvy customers recognising the best value for money”.
