AU Small Finance Bank, India's largest small finance bank, has signed a strategic partnership with Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India to provide financing options for two-wheeler purchases across the country.
The memorandum of understanding, announced on February 3, positions AU Small Finance Bank as a preferred financier for Honda two-wheelers. The partnership will leverage the bank's digital infrastructure, including STP-enabled credit decisioning and Account Aggregator integration, to streamline the loan approval process.
Customers purchasing Honda motorcycles and scooters will have access to paperless applications, faster eligibility assessments, and real-time loan status tracking. The collaboration also includes joint marketing initiatives across HMSI dealerships and AU Small Finance Bank branches.
AU Small Finance Bank recently became the first lender in over a decade to receive in-principle approval to transition into a universal bank. The partnership is part of the bank's strategy to expand its mobility finance offerings.
Uttam Tibrewal, Executive Director and Deputy CEO of AU Small Finance Bank, described the partnership as a significant milestone in the bank's expansion of mobility finance. He emphasized that the collaboration aligns with the institution's customer-first approach and national distribution capabilities.
Yogesh Mathur, Director of Sales and Marketing at Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, said the partnership aims to enhance the credit solutions available at HMSI dealerships nationwide. He noted that the collaboration would simplify the purchase journey through affordable and convenient financing options.
The partnership will provide benefits to both sets of customers. Honda buyers will receive competitive schemes and promotional offers, while AU Small Finance Bank customers will gain access to Honda's dealership network across India for purchasing two-wheelers.
