Renault Bank is celebrating five years in Ireland, and in that time they have lent in excess of 500 million euro to individual and business customers. The captive bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Renault Group and since 2011, provides a range of financial services in the Irish market for Renault and Dacia customers. The Bank now employs over 30 staff at its offices in Dundrum and operates through Renault Group's 28 branches within dealerships around the country offering customers market leading rates, and flexible finance options. The amount lent to customers so far this year (to end October 2016) increased by approximately 49% versus the same period in 2015 as a result of Renault Group's strong performance this year, particularly with the launch of new models such as the Kadjar and all-new Mégane.
