CA Auto Bank named Microlino’s financial partner in Italy

CA Auto Bank has become the exclusive financial partner for Microlino in Italy, following a new agreement with Micro Mobility Systems AG to support the launch and marketing of the Microlino Standard and Microlino Lite electric quadricycles.

Under the deal, the bank – part of the Crédit Agricole Group and a specialist in mobility financing – will provide a full suite of financial products, including leasing and instalment plans, for private customers, businesses and fleets, as well as Microlino’s national dealer network. The partnership strengthens a European collaboration already underway, after the CA Auto Bank Group secured a similar role supporting Microlino in the UK.

Microlino is positioning itself as a new icon of compact, sustainable urban mobility. The electric quadricycle combines the minimal footprint and efficiency of light vehicles with car-like comfort and safety features, including a steel and aluminium unibody and a distinctive front-opening design inspired by 1950s “bubble cars”.

The agreement covers Microlino’s two core models: the fully electric Microlino (L7e), which reaches 90 km/h and can be driven from age 16 with a B1 licence, and the Microlino Lite (L6e), accessible from age 14 with an AM licence and capped at 45 km/h.

“For our launch in Italy and Europe, it was essential to have a solid, flexible financial partner with deep industry knowledge like CA Auto Bank by our side,” said Michelangelo Liguori, General Manager of Micro Mobility Systems.

“The exclusivity of the agreement allows us to offer customers easier access to our vehicles. Competitive and transparent financial solutions is essential to promote the adoption of light electric mobility in Italy.”

Marcella Merli, Country Manager of CA Auto Bank Italy, said the partnership aligns with the bank’s strategy of supporting greener mobility.

“We are proud to support a visionary brand like Microlino on its growth path in the Italian market. Microlino offers a concrete solution to the needs of modern urban mobility: it is intelligent, sustainable, and accessible.”

To boost accessibility, the bank will offer dedicated financing options, including a 96-month instalment plan with monthly payments starting at €199 on a €2,318 down payment, at a fixed nominal interest rate of 6.95%.
