Hyundai jumps saddle from Black Horse

As exclusively reported by Motor Finance in April this year, Hyundai Finance has completed the transition of its white label finance programme from Black Horse, owned by Lloyds Banking Group, to Santander Consumer Finance UK (SCFUK). As well as providing finance for Hyundai sales, SCFUK will also provide Hyundai dealerships with product information to make available at point of sale, plus motor finance training and compliance guidance for dealer staff. Operating under Hyundai Car Finance, Black Horse funded approximately 17% of Hyundais 62,000 UK vehicle sales in 2010, a figure which Hyundai UK managing director Tony Whitehorne said in April he was expecting to increase to 40% in partnership with SCF in the next three years.

As exclusively reported by Motor Finance

(SCUK).

As well as providing finance for Hyundai sales, SCUK will also

Operating under Hyundai Car Finance, Black Horse funded
approximately 17% of Hyundai’s 62,000 UK vehicle sales in 2010, a
figure which Hyundai UK managing director Tony Whitehorne said in
April he was expecting to increase to 40% in partnership with SCF

The April deal itself followed a Moratorium of Understanding
signed between Hyundai and Santander in 2010 to provide car finance
in several European markets.

SCuk is already the UK finance partner for Kia, Hyundai Motor
Group’s other brand.
