Allied Retail Finance – automotive retail finance assets of Macquarie Leasing

Allied Retail Finance Pty Ltd (Allied Retail Finance), a wholly owned subsidiary of Allied Credit Pty Ltd (Allied Credit), proposes to acquire the remaining portfolio of automotive loans and leases originated by Macquarie Leasing Pty Limited and other associated assets (including all legal and equitable interests in the data and records relating to the loan assets) held by Macquarie Leasing Pty Ltd, Macquarie Bank Limited and the trustee of the SMART B Trust (together, Macquarie).

The proposed transaction is supplementary to previous transactions between the parties as part of Macquarie's staged exit from the automotive finance industry which has been ongoing since 2021. Macquarie will continue to service a small portfolio of car loans originated by Macquarie Bank Limited but ceased new car loan originations in April 2024.
