GM’s captive finance arm, GM Financial (GMF), continues to grow its share of GM loans and leases. In the second quarter of 2017, GMF’s combined loan and lease originations were $12 billion, up 24 percent from $9.7 billion a year ago.
That equates to 43 percent of GM’s U.S. retail vehicle sales in the second quarter, an increase of 34 percent year-over-year, and 46 percent for the first half of 2017, up from 36 percent a year ago.
Most of that growth was from loans, as GM Financial continues to come fully online as GM’s captive finance company and its products proliferate throughout the GMÂ dealer network.
