Share

Honda has signed a new pan-European partnership with Crédit Agricole Personal Finance & Mobility to provide financing solutions for the Japanese manufacturer’s cars and motorcycles across eight European markets.

Under the agreement, Crédit Agricole Personal Finance & Mobility, together with Europejski Fundusz Leasingowy SA (EFL) – a wholly owned subsidiary of Crédit Agricole S.A. within the Crédit Agricole Leasing & Factoring perimeter – will support Honda’s retail and dealer financing activities in Italy, Poland, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Portugal, Switzerland and the Netherlands.

The partnership brings together several specialist brands within the Crédit Agricole Personal Finance & Mobility group, including CA Auto Bank, Agos, Drivalia and EFL, enabling Honda to benefit from a tailored, multi-brand approach adapted to the specific needs of each market. Services will include retail finance for private and business customers, leasing and long-term rental solutions, as well as wholesale and inventory financing for dealerships.

Depending on the country, Honda will leverage the expertise of CA Auto Bank for credit and wholesale financing, Drivalia for leasing and rental solutions, Agos – Honda’s long-standing financial partner in Italy for more than 30 years – and EFL, the leading leasing company in Poland and Honda’s partner since 2019.

From 1 January 2026, Crédit Agricole Personal Finance & Mobility’s subsidiaries will operate under the white-label brand Honda Financial Services in Italy, Poland, Portugal and Switzerland. The partnership will take effect in Austria from 1 March 2026, and in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands from 1 April 2026.

The agreement supports Honda’s ambition to strengthen its commercial footprint across Europe by making its mobility products more accessible to customers through flexible, competitive financing solutions. It also aligns with Crédit Agricole Personal Finance & Mobility’s strategic goal of becoming a leading player in mobility financing across Europe.

Joe Crump, President and Managing Director of Honda Financial Services, said: “This new partnership will allow Honda to further strengthen its offers across Europe, making its products accessible and relevant to a broader range of customers.

“We chose Crédit Agricole due to their unmatched ability to offer high quality services and products across several key European markets, along with the deployment of the latest technologies. We look forward to this relationship becoming a central pillar in our strategy to deliver a strong sustainable business for Honda in the region.”

Stéphane Priami, CEO of Crédit Agricole Personal Finance & Mobility and Chairman of CA Auto Bank, added:

“The trust placed in us by Honda demonstrates the strength of our model, which is based on our expertise, our unique European footprint, and our spirit of innovation. Through CA Auto Bank, Drivalia, Agos and EFL, we are proud to support our partner and contribute to its development strategy in Europe.”
