“There is only one future ahead of us, and that is the one made up of our dreams – provided we have the courage to break with convention.” – Soichiro Honda

Our philosophy is based on equality, respect and the initiative to put creative ideas into practice. We want to share the joy we derive from creating and selling our products with our customers through our financing solutions for new cars and motorbikes. We achieve this through a direct and straightforward approach via authorised dealers, as well as through our strong partners.

As a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Honda Group, we have been operating in Germany since 1998 and have had a branch in Barcelona, Spain, since 2007. We also operate our financial services business with partner banks in 15 European countries.
