What Toyota Motor Credit Corporation does

Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (TMCC) is the captive automotive finance subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation in the United States, incorporated in California and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toyota Financial Services International Corporation (TFSIC). Founded in 1982-1983, TMCC provides retail installment sales contracts, closed-end vehicle leases, and dealer financing (wholesale floorplan, working capital, revolving credit, and real estate loans) to authorized Toyota and Lexus dealers and customers across the continental United States (excluding Hawaii) and Puerto Rico. The company also markets voluntary protection products including Vehicle Service Agreements, Guaranteed Auto Protection (GAP), Prepaid Maintenance Plans, Tire & Wheel Protection, and Excess Wear & Use Protection, and refers customers to Toyota Insurance Management Solutions (TIMS) for insurance products.

TMCC's product portfolio is delivered through the Toyota and Lexus dealer network at point of sale, supplemented by direct digital channels including the toyotafinancial.com website, iOS and Android mobile applications (MyTFS), and an online account services portal with payment processing, mileage calculation, and lease-end management tools. The company funds its operations through a diversified capital markets program including commercial paper (rated A-1+/P-1/F1), SEC-registered medium-term notes, a €60 billion Euro Medium Term Note Programme, asset-backed securities issued through Toyota Auto Owner Trusts (TAOT), Toyota Auto Loan Extended Note Trust (TALNT), and Toyota Lease Owner Trust (TLOT) since 1993, and a $7.6 billion cumulative green bond program launched in 2014.

Revenue is generated primarily through interest income on retail installment contracts and operating leases, with additional streams from voluntary protection product fees, insurance referral commissions, and fixed income product offerings to institutional and retail investors (including IncomeDriver Notes). With approximately 3,800 team members and over $150 billion in managed assets, TMCC operates as an integrated component of Toyota's U.S. financial services ecosystem under the Toyota Financial Services umbrella brand. Credit support agreements with Toyota Financial Services Corporation and Toyota Motor Corporation provide TMCC with exceptional credit strength and capital markets access.
