By GlobalDataThe Stellantis strategy, as outlined in the Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan, is to better leverage its financial services arms, with the aim to double its net banking income by 2030. This new structure will achieve this target and boost value creation across its entire financial services business.
Philippe de Rovira, chief affiliates officer for Stellantis, said: “This simplification allows for superior agility to serve our customers, better support of the commercialisation across Stellantis brands, and strengthened competitiveness by leveraging various synergies.”
Stellantis also confirmed that Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance has acquired the 50% stake in FCA Bank Group that was previously owned by Stellantis.
The various arrangements and consolidations have been approved by the relevant antitrust and competition authorities.
