Stellantis sets aside 37m as UK car finance scandal deepens

At the centre of the scandal are "discretionary commission arrangements" (DCAs) - hidden incentives paid by lenders to car dealers for arranging vehicle loans.

The FCA banned the practice in 2021 but is investigating deals dating back as far as 2007.
