At its peak, the IT platform was processing circa 100,000 applications per annum for credit in Ireland over a range of diverse products including car finance, agricultural machinery, office equipment, computers and film finance investment.
First Citizen Finance acquired this operational platform and has retained and enhanced the capabilities of the platform over the past few years. This allows it to originate and service a wide range of Asset-backed loan portfolios, comprising of Personal and Business Hire Purchase, Leasing and Contract Hire products across a variety of different asset classes.
The company has recently entered the CRE (Commercial Real Estate) lending market and has just secured a funding facility of €150m with a leading international finance player. Funding in the CRE Sector will be available for Office, Retail, Industrial, Multi-family Residential and Mixed use investment property.
