Our road began with GM founding General Motors Acceptance Corporation (GMAC) as the first ever automotive captive company and financial service provider so as to meet the growing need for consumer and retailer vehicle financing. GMAC, a pioneer in auto finance, first opened its doors to customers in 1919, with the launching of the first branch in Detroit, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Toronto.

For many decades, GMAC provided financial service products to GM customers worldwide and was an integral part of the GM Family. Over time, it grew from an automotive finance company to a diversified financial services enterprise covering commercial credit, insurance, mortgage and full-service leasing business.

In the early 2000s though, GM started to face economic challenges that impacted its credit rating. As GMAC was financially strong at the time, a majority stake was sold in 2006 after 87 years of ownership to enable GMAC to obtain its own independent and higher credit rating, so that funding or raising capital on the capital markets would become cheaper (improved cost of funds). Thus, GMAC began a new era as an independent global financial services company.

Following the acquisition by Ally Financial in 2010, GMAC began a consolidation and restructuring process that included renaming GMAC to Ally Financial Inc. In most parts of International Operations, the company remained known as GMAC, with only Mexico rebranding to Ally.  Following the sale from Ally to GM Financial in 2013, the Company is now working on the rebranding across International Operations to name as GM Financial. This purchase recognised how much IO had achieved using existing resources during an extremely difficult time, which is also reflected in the above market sales price Ally achieved for IO.

With GM Financial operating in the US and Canada, and International Operations covering Europe, Latin America and China, GM is now able again to offer in-house automotive financial services to its customers worldwide.

Founded in 1992, AmeriCredit Corp was acquired by GM in October 2010 and renamed General Motors Financial Company (GM Financial). As a captive of General Motors, GM Financial are successful leaders in providing expertise in originating, servicing and accessing capital markets to fund auto finance products.

GM Financial acquired the International Operations from Ally Financial on April 1, 2013. With this acquisition, GM Financial is positioned to support markets comprising 80% of GM’s sales.
