First Citizen Finance DAC

First Citizen Finance DAC was established in Dublin in October 2012 by the former senior management team of Permanent tsb Finance, led by Chris Hanlon. Prior to its sale in 2012, this management team ran the largest consumer finance company in Ireland, with a market share in excess of 35 per cent. At its peak, the IT platform was processing circa 100,000 applications per annum for credit in Ireland across a range of diverse products including car finance, agricultural machinery, office equipment, computers and film finance investment. This team implemented and managed 14 different Motor Private Label / Co-operation Agreements over a 20 year period. In 2023, the company now provides asset finance solutions to Consumers and Non Consumers in the Republic of Ireland. Whether someone is looking to finance their next new or used car or ready to explore funding options in Agri, SME equipment, or commercial property, the team at First Citizen is ready to assist.
