GE Capital is the financial services unit of the American multinational conglomerate General Electric.[1] It provides commercial lending and leasing, as well as a range of financial services for commercial aviation, energy, and support for GE's industrial business units.

In April 2015, GE announced its plan to create a simpler, more valuable company by reducing the size of its financial businesses through the sale of most GE Capital assets while continuing its investment and growth in its world-class industrial businesses. Since that time, the GE Capital team has made strong progress toward redefining the company and focusing on its financing verticals that directly support GE.

GE Capital’s verticals are now aligned to drive growth in GE’s core industrial businesses – GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS), Energy Financial Services (EFS) and GE Industrial Finance, which will include the Healthcare Equipment Finance business, Working Capital Solutions (WCS), and other financing activities to develop lending and leasing products for the GE Store. One financing center of excellence that serves the entire GE system, GE Treasury, and several specialty insurance platforms, are also a part of the "new" GE Capital.

GE Capital Aviation Services is a key financial partner to more than 245 customers in 75 countries, providing aircraft leasing, financing, services and consulting in every sector of the industry. GE Energy Financial Services provides world-class underwriting capabilities for Power, Renewables, and Oil+Gas infrastructure to meet rising demand and sustainability imperatives. And GE Capital's new Industrial Finance organization serves customers in Healthcare, Transportation, Distributed Power, Marine industries and Municipalities around the world.

Overview

On July 8, 2013, the Financial Stability Oversight Council designated GE Capital as a "systemically important financial institution", which makes it subject to oversight by the Federal Reserve.[2]

Restructuring plan

On April 10, 2015, Jeffrey R. Immelt, the CEO of General Electric, announced that GE would sell most of GE Capital over the next two years.[5]

The following areas were sold:

Operations

Poland

Polish GE Money Bank S.A. was primarily headquartered in Gdańsk prior to December 31, 2009. BPH SA (Bank Przemysłowo-Handlowy) is a Polish financial institution 89% owned by GE Money Bank (prior to 2008 the largest shareholder was UniCredit), employing about 10,000 people. On 31 December 2009, Bank BPH merged with GE Money Bank Polska. After the merging of the two brands, GE's Capital's Polish headquarters are located in three cities: Warsaw, Kraków and Gdańsk. In October 2014, the bank’s owner, General Electric, revealed it was considering selling the firm.[24] On April 1, 2016, it was revealed that GE had reached a deal to sell its majority stake in Bank BPH's core bank to Alior Bank, and with this transaction GE will divest itself of the Core Bank while maintaining the Mortgage Bank and its US$3.9B of mortgages, which will be separated in a demerger from the non-mortgage based assets that will subsequently be merged into Alior Bank, and GE will keep BPH TFI, the bank’s asset management business; the transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2016 and must seek regulatory approval and antitrust clearance to proceed.[25]

Former operations

Australia

In Australia, the GE Money brand encompassed the GE Consumer Finance and GE Capital Finance businesses. The company provided car, boat, personal and consolidation loans, credit cards, mortgages and insurance.

At the end of 2002 to beginning of 2003 GE purchased the Australian Guarantee Corporation (AGC) business from Westpac Banking Corporation, and as a result, AGC Automotive Finance became GE Automotive Finance (GE Auto), and former retail finance competitor, AGC Creditline, became known as GE CreditLine.

GE Consumer Finance controled most credit cards and loans and has a strategic partnership with Coles Group to operate the Coles Group Source MasterCard. GE Consumer Finance governs the GE Creditline, GO MasterCard, gem Visa and Buyer's Edge cards which all offer interest-free terms at participating retailers.

GE Finance also had strategic financial relations with Myer, Australia's largest department store. In 2006 and 2007 Myer signed contracts with GE to issue and govern both the new Myer Card and the Myer Visa Card. GE was also the issuer of the old red ColesMyer card which is no longer an acceptable method of payment of Myer stores, this is following the decision of Myer being disenfranchised from the ColesMyer group.

In 2004, GE Capital Finance purchased the Wizard Home Loans business.

Legal Issues

In April 1997, a lawsuit against General Electric Capital Corp was filed on behalf of the company's customers who filed for bankruptcy. The GE Capital Corp. was accused of unfair debt collection practices. The class action lawsuit resulted in $100 million settlement with over 100,000 class members from 50 states.[62] Plaintiffs claimed that the company solicited agreements from bankrupt debtors to repay their credit card debts but failed to notify bankruptcy court of the agreement. Those reaffirmation agreements legally required the debtors to continue paying off their debt in exchange for keeping the credit card, even though bankruptcy erases credit card debts. The lawsuit claimed that GE Capital was required by law to file the agreements with bankruptcy courts and did not do so. As part of the settlement, the company agreed to refund, with interest, all credit card payments made after debtors entered into the reaffirmation agreements between January 1, 1993, and June 30, 1997. GE Capital Corp. also promised to advise credit bureaus to correct any negative credit reports related to class members’ failure to repay reaffirmed debt.[63]

In June 2014, Synchrony Bank, formerly GE Capital Retail Bank, agreed to settle claims of illegal credit card practices that were filed by the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the United States Justice Department by agreeing to pay $225 million to Spanish speaking consumers that were harmed by discriminatory practices and deceptive marketing. The bank was also required to pay an additional $3.5 million in civil penalties to the CPFB's Civil Penalty Fund for deceptive credit card marketing.[58][59]

Recent news

On April 10, 2015, it was announced that GE would sell most of GE Capital's commercial and consumer businesses within two years, focusing instead on its leasing businesses connected with GE's manufacturing businesses. The company reached an agreement to sell the majority of its property business to Wells Fargo and Blackstone, valued at $26.5 billion.[66][67] GE Chairman and CEO, Jeff Immelt, announced the plan in a letter to shareholders. It is "a big change for GE," but he said it is "right for the company." Under the plan, Immelt said that GE expects more than 90% of its earnings will be generated by its industrial businesses by 2018, up from 58% in 2014.GE Capital, meanwhile, will make up 10% of the company's revenues by 2018, down from 46% in 2001.[68] Shareholders applauded the announcement, pushing shares in G.E. up nearly 11 percent on Friday, to $28.51, levels unseen since the financial crisis.
