Auto, captive and equipment finance

What EY can do for you

The EY organization is a leader in automotive, captive and equipment finance and was the first of the Big Four to establish a dedicated network of practices more than a decade ago. Significant change is upending the market, with stakeholders demanding better services and new technologies reshaping the ways value is created. Facing macroeconomic challenges, lenders must also adapt to evolving customer expectations, technological advances like artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, and heightened regulatory scrutiny. In this unique economic environment, companies are tightening credit, using advanced technologies for cost optimization and reassessing operating models. They must also navigate higher vehicle costs and affordability issues, requiring adjustments in lending practices and a shift in focus from price to the customer experience. With this in mind, our team continues to evolve, take shape and is refined to best support each client’s industry sector, with the following eight key areas of focus:
