Volkswagen Financial Services CZ

What Volkswagen Financial Services CZ does

Volkswagen Financial Services CZ, operating under the legal entity ŠkoFIN s.r.o., is the Czech Republic captive finance subsidiary of Volkswagen Financial Services AG. Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Prague, the company provides a comprehensive suite of automotive financial services for retail customers, business/corporate fleet operators, and the VW Group dealer network. It finances and leases vehicles across all Volkswagen Group brands sold in the Czech Republic — Volkswagen, Audi, Škoda, SEAT, CUPRA, Porsche, Ducati, and VW Commercial Vehicles — as well as certified pre-owned vehicles through the Škoda Plus and Das WeltAuto programs.

The company's core products are vehicle credit/loans and operational leasing, supplemented by add-on services including prepaid maintenance packages, extended warranties (e.g., Škoda Záruka Plus), brand insurance underwritten with Allianz, and fleet management for corporate clients with 3+ vehicles. Its technology stack is a web-based platform comprising online loan calculators, an online pre-approval system, and the MojeVWFS client portal that enables customers to manage contracts, view payment schedules, and request insurance settlement releases. Operational leasing offerings are priced as monthly subscriptions (e.g., 6,890 Kč/month for a Golf, 10,999 Kč/month for an Audi Q3, excluding VAT) and bundle warranty servicing, mandatory insurance, comprehensive insurance with 10% deductible, and glass insurance.

VWFS CZ generates revenue through interest income on credit/loans, recurring monthly leasing payments, insurance commissions via the Allianz partnership, and managed-services fees for fleet administration. Distribution is conducted through the authorized dealer network for retail customers and a dedicated fleet sales team with regional managers for business clients. The company reports 157 employees, operates exclusively in the Czech Republic, and is privately held as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Volkswagen Financial Services AG. It also maintains a portfolio of CSR partnerships (Centrum Paraple, Sue Ryder, Breakfaststory, ŠKODA AUTO Endowment Fund) and holds a LEED Gold-certified office at Bořislavka Centrum.
