Citizens Financial Group to Cease Originating Indirect Auto Loans

Servicing of Existing Auto Portfolio to Continue; Advances Strategy to Invest in Businesses Aligned with Deepening Relationships with Customers

Citizens Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: CFG or “Citizens”) today announced that it will no longer originate indirect auto loans, effective July 1, 2023, as part of its strategy to optimize its balance sheet and emphasize relationship-based lending. Citizens will retain and continue to service existing auto loans on its balance sheet.

“As Citizens continues to optimize its balance sheet, this decision further enables us to lend in areas that provide better risk adjusted returns and improved opportunities to deepen relationships with our customers,” said Eric J. Schuppenhauer, Head of Consumer Lending. “We greatly appreciate the opportunity to have been the lender of choice for thousands of dealership partners over the years and are thankful for the dedicated team of colleagues that have delivered exceptional service.”

In third quarter 2022, Citizens began to reduce the number of active dealer relationships and de-emphasize its auto loan origination volume. At March 31, 2023, Citizens had $11.5 billion of auto loans outstanding, down 6.5% from December 31, 2022 and down 20.1% from March 31, 2022. The centralized servicing operations will continue to provide excellent service to our auto loan customers.
