The main groups of items financed through leasing are the means of transport (tractors, trailers, trucks, vans, cars, etc.), machinery and equipment, computers as well as industrial and commercial real estate. The leasing portfolio of the Group includes contracts in which fees are set in PLN or are linked to EUR exchange rate (foreign exchange contracts denominated in EUR) as well as associated with market interest rates (floating-products), or independent from them (fixed rate products). Agreements with customers are concluded for term from 1 year to 10 years. Offered  lease agreements provide a diverse client’s own contribution and the final value of the object, as well as a diverse amount of lease payments, e.g., depending on seasonality. After the end of the lease, a customer is obliged to buy the item at a final price specified at the time of the conclusion of the agreement. The object during the entire lease term is owned by the Group and constitutes a major collateral of lease payments.
