A four-year partnership between Arval, the fleet arm of BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, and RCI Financial Services, the UK finance division of Renault-Nissan, has come to an end with the manufacturer alliance bring its contract hire business in-house.
The move, which will be completed on 30 June 2014, is a strategic decision and will affect all brands under the Renault Nissan alliance, including Dacia and Infiniti.
Arval will continue to work with Renault Nissan’s finance arm on new orders until the end of June, and will also help in the supply of existing orders, providing customers with support and defleeting process thereafter.
The change over will be handled by a joint project team.
Malcolm Banfield, commercial director at RCI Financial Services said: "This is a strategic, international decision which reflects a changing market which we believe we can capitalise on and is in no way a reflection of Arval’s performance which has been very strong, particularly in 2013.
