We pride ourselves on offering a flexible service with varying deposits and loan terms bespoke to your individual requirements.
We use our supporting dealer network across the UK to provide vehicle finance to military customers. Once you've found the vehicle you would like to finance, your dealer will be able to put together an application on your behalf to send to Close Brothers Military Services, as part of Close Brothers Motor Finance. We're often able to arrange your finance while you wait.
