What MAIB Leasing does

MAIB Leasing (legal name O.C.N. "MAIB-Leasing" S.A.) is a Moldovan non-bank financial leasing company founded in 2002 as the first leasing operator in the country. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BC Moldova-Agroindbank S.A. (maib), the largest bank in Moldova, providing it with structural funding, brand credibility, and a customer cross-flow path through maib's retail and corporate base. The company is headquartered in Chișinău at str. Tighina 49 and operates under Moldovan regulatory oversight from the National Commission for the Financial Market (NCFM) and the National Bank of Moldova.

The company offers financial leasing across six core asset categories: passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, buses, trucks, agricultural equipment, and machinery, plus real estate financing and a leaseback product for asset monetization. Promotional brand-specific offers (BMW, BMW X3/X5, GBS for budget brands, and hybrid/EV for maib family clients) run on top of the standard product line. Supporting services include bundled CASCO and RCA insurance, bancassurance add-ons, and a self-service digital layer comprising an online calculator, a personal cabinet (cabinet.leasing.md), a currency exchange rate table, an auto dealer catalog, and a marketplace for repossessed assets. Distribution is multi-channel: 30+ automotive dealer partnerships (BMW, Toyota, Kia, Peugeot, Haval, Mercedes, Porsche, etc.), used-car lot partners (Interauto, Autoparc, Sauto, and others), a toll-free hotline (0800 88888), and online application with stated 1-hour approval on ID-only documentation for most products.

The revenue model combines floating-rate interest income on financed leases, a one-time origination commission (typically 2% of asset value), and insurance pass-through revenue. Pricing is transaction-based and varies by asset type, vehicle age, down payment, and customer profile; standard auto leasing starts from 7% annually with up to 60-month terms for new vehicles and 48 months for used. Long-tail customer mix spans individuals and SMEs, with 3,000+ customers and 5,000+ financed transactions over 20 years, and an approximate 67% repeat-customer ratio. The technical stack is conventional web/portal infrastructure with no disclosed AI/ML components, APIs, or SDKs.
