SolarLease

Special financing offer for photovoltaic panels for entrepreneurs

From February 2020, entrepreneurs running a business or agricultural activity can obtain attractive financing from Santander Leasing, possible both as a loan and as a lease, regardless of the place of installation. Our offer assumes customer's own contribution starting from 10% of the installation value with the financing period ranging from 12 to even 72 months. Photovoltaic installations with a capacity of up to 50 kW and a total net value of PLN 15,000 to PLN 300,000 may be financed. Investment in photovoltaic panels offers a number of benefits, such as lower electricity bills, energy independence and care for the environment by reducing CO2 emissions. The offer is very popular - by the end of 2020 Santander Leasing had financed investments in photovoltaic panels worth nearly PLN 41 million, achieving sales dynamics of 335% year-on-year.

Digitisation

#signasyouwish

Santander Leasing has introduced the possibility of signing a contract remotely during an e-meeting: with a traditional signature (by hand) or with a qualified electronic signature. The e-meeting takes place via the Hangouts Meet application and is recorded with the customer’s consent. All the documents needed to sign the contract are sent to the client by encrypted e-mail. The advisor also gives the customer instructions on how to download the documents. The solution was popular with customers during the pandemic, so we decided to retain this option permanently. We are currently working on optimising the solution.

This is a dedicated platform for the sale of new cars and vans available immediately. The concept is a response to the expectations of customers who, due to the pandemic situation, have opted for a remote and automatic sales process. The leasing proposal has been prepared on the currently available offer of Polish authorised dealers. The platform contains more than 200 new cars and trucks, and this is just the beginning. The financing has been combined with the possibility of using an extended assistance insurance package, the cost of which will amount to PLN 1 during the first year of the lease agreement.

Plans for 2021.

Santander Leasing wants to extend its offer of financing photovoltaic installations to another group of customers – retail customers.
