As it has a high usage rate of sales financing for purchases, automobile sales finance is an indispensable tool for the business strategy of individual automakers to promote sales and increase market shares in the country. This loan will provide financial support for the overseas business deployment of Japanese automakers through funding automobile sales finance business, thereby serving to maintain and improve the international competitiveness of the Japanese automobile industry.
