Travelers Financial Group

TFG Financial Corporation, formerly known as Travelers Financial Corporation (TFC), was founded in 1986. TFG’s new name is as a result of an announcement in May of 2014, that the assets of the prime equipment and vehicle finance business of TFC would become part of the Coast Capital Group of Companies. We did not include our Asset-Based Leasing (ABL) activities in the Coast transaction, but instead we made our ABL product available to Coast Capital through an arrangement that allows them to offer it to their customers. TFG is also offering its ABL product to other financial institutions, the equipment broker network in Canada, and select equipment dealers. TFG Financial can trace its roots from a humble start to becoming the cornerstone of the family of companies comprising the Travelers Financial Group. It started with Travelers Financial Corporation (TFC) and the 28 year build-out of a national equipment leasing and financing business, which has now been merged into Coast Capital. Along the way Travelers Leasing Corporation built a national presence in the automobile leasing & financing sector, and was acquired by the Bank of Nova Scotia in 2007. From its start in 1993, Travelers Acceptance Corporation built a Canada-wide consumer financing business, and was acquired by its joint venture partner Servus Credit Union in 2011. More recently, Travelers Capital Corporation was formed to provide non-recourse project financing to the renewable energy sector in Canada and the United States. And to round out the Group, we took an ownership position in Inovatec Systems Corporation, a software solutions company focused on the equipment and vehicle financing sectors.
