History

In 2001 Cetelem S.A. acquired 70% of the former WKV Bank in Munich and founded the Cetelem Bank GmbH. The bank was a Joint Venture of the BNP Paribas Personal Finance S.A. (former Cetelem S.A.) and of the Dresdner Bank AG. In 2005 an ownership structure of 50,1 % BNP Paribas Personal Finance S.A. and 49,9 % Dresdner Bank was agreed and the Cetelem Bank was changed to Dresdner-Cetelem Kreditbank GmbH. Through the merging of the Dresdner Bank with the Commerzbank the partnership shares were transferred to the Commerzbank AG in May 2009. In the beginning of June 2010 the Dresdner-Cetelem Kreditbank was changed to Commerz Finanz.[1]

In August 2017 BNP Paribas Personal Finance and Commerzbank separated. BNP Paribas continues the business of the Commerz Finanz as sole shareholder. With the introduction of the brand Consors Finanz the bank bundled sales financing solutions for retail and online trade as well as for car, caravan and motorbike dealers.
