What Mobilize Financial Services does

Mobilize Financial Services is the commercial brand of RCI Banque S.A., a French regulated bank (authorized by ACPR) that operates as the captive automotive financing arm of Renault Group. Founded in 1954 and headquartered in Paris, the company provides vehicle financing (loans, leasing with purchase option/LOA, long-term leases/LLD), insurance products, savings deposits, and mobility services to retail customers, corporate fleet operators, and dealer networks across 35 countries. It serves the financing needs of five automotive brands: Renault, Dacia, Alpine, Nissan, and Mitsubishi, with a recent expansion to Geely in Brazil. As of December 2020, the company held €20.5 billion in net deposits representing 43% of net assets under the Renault Bank brand, distributed partly through the Raisin fintech marketplace in markets including France, Germany, Austria, UK, Spain, Netherlands, Brazil, and Poland.

The company's revenue model is diversified across interest income from financing contracts (€22.3 billion in new financing volumes in 2025, up 3.3% year-on-year), commission income from insurance products (including connected "Pay as you drive" and "Pay how you drive" offerings), subscription-based service contracts, and a savings/deposit franchise. In 2025, net banking income reached €2,224 million (+2.7% YoY) with pre-tax profit of €1,181 million essentially flat versus €1,179 million in 2024. The technology stack includes a digital Smart Finance Platform (launched in India), the R.Access connected car technology enabling integration with car-sharing operators, an online financing simulator, and usage-based insurance products leveraging connected vehicle data. The company has pursued an active M&A strategy to build non-lending capabilities, notably acquiring Bipi (car subscription, July 2021), Karhoo (ride-hailing, 2017), Class & Co/Yuso/Marcel (2017), and Mobility Concept/MeinAuto (2023). Distribution is dominated by captive dealer networks, supplemented by digital channels, the Raisin marketplace for savings products, and partnerships with platforms like 11 Street in South Korea. Mobilize Financial Services is wholly owned by Renault Group and not publicly listed.
