“We are delighted with the quantity and quality of investors who supported this transaction and the keen pricing we secured,” he said.

Mr Hanlon confirmed that the proceeds will be used to support the company’s lending programme for motor finance, which comprises the largest share of its business, along with other product lines. Employing almost 100 people, First Citizen Finance has a loan book that stands at just under €700 million, made up of more than 30,000 loans.
