Also known as: BMW Financial Services; ALPHERA Financial Services; MINI Financial Services
BMW Financial Services (GB) Limited is the captive finance company of the BMW Group in the UK. It provides vehicle finance products for new and used BMW and MINI vehicles, typically arranged through authorised BMW and MINI dealerships at the point of sale.
Products include Personal Contract Purchase (PCP), Hire Purchase (HP), and personal loans for vehicle purchase. PCP is the most popular, with lower monthly payments and a larger optional final payment at the end of the agreement if you want to keep the car. At the end of a PCP deal, customers can also hand the car back or part-exchange it.
BMW Financial Services also offers BMW and MINI insurance, extended warranty products, and fleet finance for businesses. The finance is arranged through the dealership network, so customers do not usually contact BMW Financial Services directly until they are already in an agreement.
BMW Financial Services has been involved in the broader FCA review of motor finance commission arrangements. If you have or had a BMW or MINI finance agreement, it may be worth reading the FCA's published consumer guidance on this topic.
If you have a BMW Financial Services agreement and need to contact them, details are on their website at bmwfs.co.uk. BMW Financial Services (GB) Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
If you are finding it difficult to manage your vehicle finance repayments, contact BMW Financial Services directly. Free debt advice is available from StepChange on 0800 138 1111, National Debtline on 0808 808 4000, or Citizens Advice, all at no cost.
