About Equigroup
ABOUT EQUIGROUP
Equigroup is a part of the International CHG-MERIDIAN Group, one of the internationally leading manufacturer and bank independent technology managers in the IT, industrial and healthcare technology sectors.
Established in 1990, our goal was to help organisations manage their technology assets more effectively. Since then, we’ve gone from strength to strength, expanding our offering and partnering with established international organisations to give our customers an even stronger value proposition. Here’s a quick look at how we got here:
1990: Our founders developed a market leading asset management system used to track healthcare equipment.
1996: We entered the distributed asset space with our first large technology finance transaction for over 5,000 devices.
1998: We launched a strategic alliance with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) and established a distribution capability.
2000: We started to expand internationally and introduced our asset lifecycle management solution to international customers.
2007: We launched an offering specifically for the healthcare sector.
2008: The CBA became a major shareholder.
2011: We launched our 24/7 cloud-based asset management system TheAssetAdvantage.
2014: We established NF Techfleet in the Nordics to support our existing commercial partnership with Nordea Finance.
2018: CHG-MERIDIAN acquired a 100% shareholding of Equigroup, and we established Westpac NZ as a funding partner.
PARTNERING WITH COMMONWEALTH BANK OF AUSTRALIA
Our partnership with CBA lets us provide technology and healthcare financing solutions that include asset management and residual value investment to a broad range of customers in the Australian market. We work with the CBA to provide flexibility that lets customers respond effectively to changing conditions and improve the efficiency of their balance sheet through intelligent structured finance solutions.
Having such a strong financing partner gives Equigroup customers peace of mind that their equipment financing is competitive and reliable.
