The fleet management and leasing firm – which is already present in the Czech Republic – will use UniCredit to roll out its full range of operational leasing services in the local market, including fleet consulting, financing, tyre and repair services, payment of taxes and insurance costs.

‘BMW Group Financial Services, our parent, has been enjoying an excellent cooperative relationship with UniCredit Leasing in the Slovak market since 2004,’ said Norbert van den Eijnden, head of Alphabet International.

‘Our international customers can now be assured Alphabet will serve them in Slovakia with the same level of excellence they have come to appreciate elsewhere in our European footprint.

Slovakian fleets will also be offered other Alphabet services such as fuel cards, replacement vehicles, roadside assistance and legal insurance.
