Is Mazda Financial owned by Toyota?

No, Mazda Financial Services is not owned by Toyota. Mazda Financial Services is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mazda Motor Corporation, the Japanese automaker. Toyota and Mazda have a strategic partnership, but they are separate and independent companies.


Mazda's Relationship with Toyota


Mazda and Toyota have had a long-standing partnership, but they are not the same company. In 2015, the two automakers announced a capital alliance, where Toyota acquired a 5% stake in Mazda.
