If desired, customers can also request a repayment plan or account statement free of charge at any time. Furthermore, the consumer has the right to terminate the leasing contract, which can be exercised at any time (a notice period or a specific termination date does not have to be observed). “By showing the effective interest rate in advertising, it will be much easier for customers to compare different leasing offers,” explains Michael Schwaiger, Director of Motor Vehicles at Santander Consumer Bank. Santander works with over 1,200 car and motorcycle dealers in Austria, including brands such as Kia, Suzuki, Volvo, Harley Davidson, KTM and Husqvarna.
