After weeks of speculation, TD Bank Group has inked a deal to buy Chrysler Financial from Cerberus Capital Management. The price tag: $6.3 billion.
As part of the deal, Toronto-based TD Bank will acquire Chrysler Financial’s $7.5 billion North American portfolio, as well as the company’s processes and technology.
TD Bank expects to grow the portfolio to $20 billion by 2013.
The deal, slated to close early next year, will not affect Ally Financial’s arrangement to provide retail and floorplan financing to Chrysler dealers, an Ally spokesman said.
