Hyundai Capital, a subsidiary of South Korean auto-maker Hyundai
Motor Co, has stepped up efforts to set up auto finance companies
in Europe and South America.
Santander Consumer Finance UK is the British subsidiary of
Santander Consumer Finance, the European consumer finance
house.
Cooperation between Hyundai and Santander began in 2009 when
their affiliates set up a joint non-finance firm in Germany.
Hyundai and Santander initially announced a
captive partnership in March this year, following news in
November 2011 of completion of the manufacturer’s
switch from Black Horse, originally
signalled in April that year.
