Rci Finance

RCI Banque S.A., operating under the brand RCI Finance (also known as Mobilize Financial Services), is the financial services arm of the Renault Group. Its primary mission is to facilitate the sale of vehicles within the Renault, Dacia, and Nissan alliances by offering a range of financing, insurance, and related services to both retail customers and dealerships.

For individual customers, RCI Finance provides various financing options, including:

• Auto Loans: Traditional financing options to purchase new or used vehicles. These loans often feature fixed interest rates and payment schedules, making budgeting predictable.
• Leasing: A popular alternative to buying, leasing allows customers to use a vehicle for a specific period (typically 2-4 years) and mileage, paying only for the vehicle’s depreciation during that time. Leasing often results in lower monthly payments compared to traditional loans.
• Personal Contract Purchase (PCP): A hybrid financing option combining elements of both loans and leases. Customers make monthly payments and have the option to purchase the vehicle at the end of the agreement by paying a lump sum, known as the Guaranteed Minimum Future Value (GMFV).
• Insurance Products: RCI Finance typically offers a range of insurance products, including comprehensive car insurance, gap insurance (to cover the difference between the outstanding loan amount and the vehicle’s market value in case of theft or write-off), and payment protection insurance.
• Service and Maintenance Contracts: These contracts provide coverage for scheduled maintenance, repairs, and sometimes wear-and-tear items, giving customers peace of mind and predictable running costs.

Beyond serving retail customers, RCI Finance plays a vital role in supporting the Renault Group’s dealer network. Services for dealers include:

• Wholesale Financing (Floorplan Financing): RCI Finance provides financing to dealerships to purchase and stock vehicles. This allows dealers to maintain a diverse inventory and meet customer demand.
• Working Capital Loans: These loans can be used for various dealership needs, such as expanding facilities, investing in equipment, or managing day-to-day operations.
• Equipment Financing: RCI Finance assists dealerships in financing equipment purchases, such as diagnostic tools, service bays, and office equipment.

RCI Finance operates in numerous countries worldwide, often tailoring its products and services to meet the specific needs of each market. This global presence allows the Renault Group to expand its reach and increase sales across diverse regions.

In recent years, RCI Finance has been adapting to the changing automotive landscape, with a focus on electric vehicle financing and new mobility solutions. As the automotive industry shifts towards electrification and alternative transportation models, RCI Finance is positioned to play a key role in supporting these trends by providing innovative financing and mobility services.

Ultimately, RCI Finance is integral to the Renault Group’s success, enabling vehicle sales, supporting the dealer network, and providing comprehensive financial solutions to customers.
