ALD Automotive and Nordea Finance have increased collaboration under the NF Fleet brand to provide for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and private individuals in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden.

ALD said a pilot initiative will be launched initially in Denmark and will be slowly introduced across all Nordic countries.
A fully digital private lease offering is also being developed by ALD Automotive in Finland in response to growing demand for online capabilities and will be made available to Nordea Bank consumers and Nordea Finance’s network of car dealers.
ALD Automotive said with the car finance market changing rapidly over the past years, smaller companies and private individuals, in particular, are increasingly looking for outsourcing solutions for vehicle leasing.
ALD Automotive and Nordea Finance said this regional partnership would help this outsourcing trend by leveraging on regional coverage, combined scale, a broad client base and breadth of expertise and services.
