BCR Leasing

What BCR Leasing does

BCR Leasing IFN is a Romanian non-banking financial institution (IFN) established in 2001 as the leasing arm of Banca Comercială Română (BCR), itself a subsidiary of Austria-listed Erste Group. The company provides financial leasing of vehicles (passenger cars, light and heavy commercial vehicles, new and used) and equipment (construction, agricultural, medical, IT, and wood/metal processing machinery) to legal entities, authorized natural persons (PFA — self-employed professionals), public authorities, and micro-enterprises across Romania.

Operating with approximately 113 employees, BCR Leasing distributes its products through two primary channels: the nationwide BCR bank branch network (field sales with embedded leasing specialists at every BCR agency) and a growing digital stack comprising eBCR Leasing (a 100% online auto leasing platform for micro-enterprises at e-bcrleasing.ro), the Self Service client portal (suport.bcr-leasing.ro) for contract management, document generation, and invoicing, and LEA — an NLP-based conversational virtual assistant available 24/7 across website and Self Service touchpoints.

The revenue model combines variable interest income indexed to ROBOR 6M (LEI) or EURIBOR 3M (EUR) plus margin on multi-year (12-72 month) contracts, a 1.5% one-time analysis commission on financed assets, a 0.1% monthly administration fee, and an insurance referral stream via partner Omniasig Vienna Insurance Group (CASCO/RCA). Marketing and customer acquisition lean on BCR's brand ecosystem, the George digital banking app integration, and equipment supplier/dealer partnerships (notably TH Trucks for commercial vehicles). Pricing and contract structures are publicly disclosed; financial revenue figures are not.
