German automobile manufacturer Opel has forayed into online consumer banking business in a bid to diversify its refinancing base.

Depending on the performance in Germany, the company may also expand the consumer banking operation to other European markets.
Opel re-launched the automotive lending and financing operations in April 2013 after its financing arm GM Financial Company re-purchased international automotive lending operations, which it had sold during the 2008-2009 financial crisis.
