General Electric Capital

General Electric Capital (GE Capital) was the financial services division of General Electric, providing various lending and financing solutions to businesses and consumers. It funded equipment purchases, real estate, and corporate loans, acting as a bank within GE. GE Capital helped companies grow by offering credit and financial support, but it was also involved in complex financial activities. In recent years, GE reduced its reliance on GE Capital to focus more on its core industrial businesses, selling off many assets and winding down its lending operations.
