Mobilize Financial Services

What Mobilize Financial Services does

Mobilize Financial Services is the German automobile banking operation of RCI Banque S.A., a French captive financial services company owned by Renault Group. Operating as RCI Banque S.A. Niederlassung Deutschland and its insurance subsidiary RCI Versicherungs-Service GmbH, both headquartered in Neuss, the company provides vehicle financing, leasing, insurance, and battery rental services to customers of the Renault, Dacia, Alpine, and Nissan brands in Germany through an integrated dealer and digital channel model. The core product set spans kilometer and residual-value leasing, three-way and classical financing, multi-tier auto insurance (liability, comprehensive, GAP via AXA, SECURPLUS mini-casco, Leasingrueckgabe-Schutz, PROTECT extended warranty, Autotagegeld, Zusatzfahrerschutz), battery rental subscriptions for Renault electric vehicles, and savings products via the Renault Bank direkt sub-brand. Distribution is primarily point-of-sale at the Renault-Nissan Alliance dealer network, supplemented by online channels for insurance, savings, and customer self-service through a customer portal and chatbot. The company is regulated by BaFin and the ECB, and holds insurance intermediary registration with IHK Mittlerer Niederrhein. In 2023 it formed subsidiary Mobilize Lease&Co, which acquired MeinAuto and Mobility Concept, adding approximately 50,000 vehicles and EUR 1 billion in lease portfolio to accelerate multi-brand long-term leasing in Germany. Recent product launches (telematics tariff in 2024, Leasingrueckgabe-Schutz in 2025) and multiple consecutive industry awards indicate active commercial momentum, while leadership transitioned twice between late 2024 and early 2026 with Przemyslaw Malysz becoming Generaldirektor in March 2026.
