AIG Philam Savings Bank and Philippine American Life and General Insurance Co. (Philamlife)—subsidiaries of American International Group Inc. (AIG)—said they had completed the acquisition of the majority stake in Primus Finance & Leasing Inc., previously held by Ford Credit International, a subsidiary of Ford Motor Co.
Primus, established in 1999, provides automotive financing to Ford and Mazda dealers in the Philippines.
AIG Philam Savings Bank and Philamlife closed the share purchase transaction with Ford Credit on April 17, 2008.
“We are now looking forward to serving Primus customers,” said AIG Philam Savings Bank president and chief executive Joven Reyes.
AIG Philam Savings Bank’s auto loan facility provides borrowers free P500,000 personal accident insurance for the entire term of their loan. This is now extended to Primus customers on their loan booking anniversary date, provided all their amortization payments are up-to-date, Reyes said. With editing by INQUIRER.net
