Firstmac will pay ASX-listed Eclipx Group $2.0 million for Carloans.com.au and Georgie, and additional related businesses including PerformanceDrive.com.au to support Firstmac’s continued rapid growth in the automotive space.

Managing Director Kim Cannon said he was excited about the expansion and what it meant to the Firstmac Group of companies and its partners.

“We welcome a new team of staff and systems to be integrated across Firstmac, loans.com.au and Savings.com.au,” Mr Cannon said.

“This acquisition acts as a positive pathway forward following COVID-19 and we look to grow Carloans.com.au and Georgie to complement our current businesses and expand on our current car loans offerings.

“We are proud of our expertise and IP particularly in digital, as well as our deep relationships with our partners and brokers, and this move only strengthens our market position as a group.”

Mr Cannon said that now the transaction was complete, he and the Firstmac Group were looking forward to integrating Carloans.com.au and Georgie into the Group.

“The first phase is to move quickly so our partners and customers can benefit as soon as possible,” Mr Cannon said.
