Daimler Financial Services Americas (DCFS USA LLC) today announced plans to re-engineer the company based on its new, smaller structure, which will result in better support to dealers and their customers.
DaimlerChrysler Bank Rus officially opened on November 7, 2007. The bank’s headquarters are in Moscow. Established by Daimler AG, the financial institute offers loans to private and commercial customers for new and used vehicles, which is enabling Daimler dealers in Russia to offer their customers a broader range of financial services than before.
With the establishment of its own bank, Daimler Financial Services, the financial services provider of Daimler AG, will be moving into the fast-growing vehicle and consumer credit markets in Russia.
The business development of Daimler Financial Services in the third quarter was impacted by the separation from the operations of the Chrysler financial services business in North America, which had become necessary due to the transfer of a majority interest in Chrysler.
DaimlerChrysler Financial Services, die Finanzdienstleistungssparte des Daimler-Konzerns wird zukünftig unter dem neuen Namen Daimler Financial Services AG firmieren. Das Unternehmen mit Sitz in Berlin folgt damit dem Mutterkonzern, dessen Aktionäre in einer außerordentlichen Hauptversammlung am 4. Oktober die Umbenennung in Daimler AG beschlossen haben. Der neue Name gilt nach der Eintragung der Namen Daimler AG und Daimler Financial Services AG in die zuständigen Handelsregister.
