Who we are

Car finance, from the car people.

Simplicity shouldn't mean fewer options. That idea has shaped DSG since our CEO first saw how hard it was for dealers to access lenders in the late 1980s.

Today our group of brands gives franchised, independent and prestige dealers — and drivers buying direct — the widest choice of finance, delivered simply and cost-effectively. Behind it is a team that knows the motor trade from the inside — our Regional Development Managers and Connectors are all ex-motor trade.

Buying a car yourself?

Car finance, direct from the DSG family.

Two of our brands help drivers directly — compare options online with Magnitude Finance, or borrow from our own ethical lender, Unity Auto Finance.
