HOUSTON, March 10, 2022 – DLL, a global financial solutions provider and fully-owned subsidiary of the Rabobank Group today announced an agreement with Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services Limited (MMFSL) to extend their long-standing U.S. joint venture.

I am sure that we will jointly scale new vistas of financial services, positively impacting the communities at large,” noted Ramesh Iyer, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services, when speaking on the association.
Along with the joint venture agreement, Mahindra Finance USA and MAgNA have agreed to an extension of their Program and Support Agreement for retail and wholesale financing in the U.S.
“MAgNA’s association with Mahindra Finance USA and DLL has resulted in providing a complete financing solution for our dealers and customers. They bring experience, value, and exceptional service to our customers with a strong focus on product offerings and technology.

This year, Mahindra Finance USA is celebrating its 10th year of the joint venture partnership. The anniversary marks the first end-customer retail finance contract booked by the joint venture in 2011, as well as managing the wholesale financing for MAgNA. Since then, Mahindra Finance USA has grown significantly, reaching over $1 billion USD of assets under management. While the anniversary recognizes the initiation of the joint venture, the relationship between DLL and MAgNA goes back farther. DLL and MAgNA have partnered together for more than twenty years to collectively grow their agricultural business in the U.S.
