This month, Toyota Financial Services (TFS) surpassed the $100 billion mark for the financing of automotive-related retail and lease contracts, the company announced on April 25.
Since opening its doors in 1983, TFS has grown from a small company with eight associates to become the third largest captive finance company, and the ninth largest finance company
in the United States. TFS currently employs more than 2700 associates nationwide, and has managed assets totaling $32 billion.
"The foundation of our success has been the ability to provide consistent, long-term support to our dealers, as well as provide quality products and service to our mutual customers," said George Borst, president and CEO of Toyota Financial Services. "In addition, our continued growth has been a result of making
ongoing changes to meet new business opportunities."
