  • Renewed for two more years the pan-European #partnership for the distribution of the #GAP and #protectedcreditinsurance products included in FCA Bank’s financing solutions
  • Premiums are reinsured by FCA Capital Re, Irish captive of the #fcabank Group

Turin, 16 February 2021

FCA Bank and AXA Partners, AXA Group’s Business Unit specialized in credit protection, assistance #service and travel insurance, renewed their partnership for the distribution of insurance products included in the financing solutions provided to customers for the purchase of a car from the Jeep, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Fiat, Lancia, Fiat Professional and Abarth dealer network. These insurance products will be available also at the official dealers of the other brands outside Stellantis for which #fcabank acts as a captive bank.

The #partnership has been renewed for two years, starting from 1 January 2021, with an option to extend it for an additional year. The insurance solutions available under the #partnership arrangements are:

  • Protected credit insurance for Portugal, Switzerland, Austria, Greece, Denmark, and Poland. This insurance coverage protects customers for the repayment of loans in case of events that reduce their ability to fulfil their obligations.
  • GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection) insurance, for Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Greece, Denmark, and Poland. This policy covers for the customer the difference between the market value of the vehicle and the value of the new vehicle, in case of loss of the car.     

A key aspect of the #partnership is the reinsurance of #GAP premiums with the Irish subsidiary of #fcabank, FCA Capital Re, which engages in the assumption of the risk arising from the policies distributed by #fcabank.

FCA Capital Re is headquartered in Dublin and is wholly owned by the #fcabank Group. It is the Group’s captive reinsurer, assuming the risk arising from the insurance policies distributed by #fcabank by dealer networks in the main European markets. 

FCA Capital Re can rely on a highly specialized team, whose strength is enhanced by the young age and cultural diversity of its members. The company has been active since 2008 and interacts with leading insurance and reinsurance companies.

The peculiar synergy between #axapartners, the insurer, #fcabank, the distributor, and FCAC Re, the reinsurer, makes it possible to provide valuable insurance coverage with attractive and stable rates.
