WE FINANCE WHAT MATTERS – FINANCING YOUR FUTURE


Siemens Financial Services is financing technology for the future. By using new technology and innovation, we continue to support vending operators who are leading with finance solutions to bring new products and technology to their customers and markets. Our products and processes are designed to create and support customer-led propositions that help drive efficiency, sustainability, easy budgeting and growth.


Our financial solutions are reliable, fast, easy to use and, with our focus on customer services, we use a range of digitalised products and processes such as Siesmart (our online system). Electronic documentation (together with electronic signature) enhances speed, security and faster payments to ensure there is no delay to the operators being paid for the equipment they deliver.
