UniCredit Leasing has signed its first
partnership with US vehicle manufacturer Ford to provide wholesale,
retail and lease financing to the Romanian market.
The new venture, Ford Leasing, will enable
Ford buyers to obtain leasing through a network of 37 Ford dealers
across the country and could be the start of a wider European
co-operation between the two companies.

UniCredit Leasing CEO for Romania
Antoneata Curteanu said: “UniCredit Leasing will, under the aegis
of Ford Leasing, offer financial solutions dedicated to Ford’s
clients.”
Car leasing represents half of UniCredit’s
portfolio in Romania, and the company has predicted growth in the
segment of 15 to 20 percent next year, after a slowdown in
2010.
Curteanu said UniCredit was committed to
answering leasing requests within 24 hours for new cars, and 72
hours for second-hand cars or for customers whose credit score
needs investigating. There is a promotion offer of 4.9 percent
interest until 31 December.
