25 Aug 2025 FirstRand Bank Ltd (WesBank); Toyota Financial Services South Africa Ltd; Toyota Motor Corporation u. a. (6 Unternehmen)Competition Tribunal: WesBank and Toyota companies allegedly pay ZAR 30m over non-compete clause €1.46m
According to the Competition Commission, a non-compete clause in the 2000 shareholders' agreement of Toyota Financial Services South Africa (TFSSA), in which WesBank holds a one-third stake, obliged the parties not to compete with each other in financing Toyota vehicles; WesBank therefore referred customers' finance requests to TFSSA (market division). In a settlement without admission of liability, the restraint is relaxed so that WesBank may provide finance quotes to retail customers and dealers at their request, and the six parties (FirstRand Bank, its division WesBank, TFSSA, Toyota Motor Corporation, Toyota Financial Services (UK), Toyota South Africa) allegedly pay ZAR 30m jointly or severally. The amount and the facts have not been confirmed against the primary source.
Non-compete clauses in joint venture shareholders' agreements should be reviewed regularly, as they can deprive customers of a choice between providers.
