Marlin Leasing Rebrands as PEAC Solutions Under HPS Investment Partners

Last updated: October 13, 2026

Marlin Leasing is no longer the name on the door. Following its acquisition by HPS Investment Partners earlier in 2022, the US equipment finance company will operate as PEAC Solutions, joining the UK and European businesses under one global brand.

According to Monitor Daily, the PEAC family of finance companies operates in 12 countries with combined balance sheet lease assets above $5.1 billion and annual originations above $2.72 billion. The rebrand is designed to present a single, cloud-based platform to clients across regions.

At a glance

• Marlin Leasing is rebranding as PEAC Solutions.
• The change follows HPS Investment Partners' acquisition earlier in 2022.
• PEAC stands for Pan-European Americas Capital Solutions.
• The combined group operates in 12 countries.
• Balance sheet lease assets exceed $5.1 billion.
• Annual originations exceed $2.72 billion.

What the rebrand means for clients

The short answer for existing Marlin customers: their financial products and terms are not changing. The new leasing options that come with the PEAC alignment will roll out over the coming months.

Behind the scenes, the change is bigger. Marlin was a US-focused operation. PEAC is the brand for HPS's global leasing platforms in Europe and the UK. Bringing Marlin under the PEAC name creates a single, cloud-based operating system across regions, which should make cross-border equipment finance easier for clients that operate in both Europe and the US.

Our analysis

The rebrand is the easy part of a global integration. The hard part is making one cloud-based operating system work across 12 countries with different regulatory regimes, currencies, and customer expectations. The PEAC team is betting that the technology platform, not the local brand, is what wins enterprise clients.

For HPS, the move is rational. Running Marlin and PEAC as separate brands with separate back offices is wasteful. A single brand with a single system lets them cross-sell and share risk. The naming choice, Pan-European Americas Capital Solutions, signals that the US and Europe are now equal partners, not the US being folded into a European name.

For competitors, the message is that the equipment finance market is consolidating around scale players with cloud-native operations. Smaller lessors without that infrastructure will struggle to win the same enterprise deals.

What it means for you

If you're a current Marlin Leasing customer, the immediate change is the name. Your account manager, your contract terms, and your product mix stay the same in the short term. Over the next several months, expect new leasing options to appear that are aligned with PEAC's European offerings.

If you're a vendor or broker, the unified brand should make it easier to deal with one entity across geographies rather than juggling separate contracts with Marlin and PEAC.

What to watch next

• The first product launches under the unified PEAC Solutions platform.
• Whether HPS pursues further acquisitions in equipment finance.
• How the cloud-based operating system handles regulatory differences across 12 countries.

Bottom line: a paper exercise on day one, but a real operational change over 12 to 24 months. The rebrand is the easy part; the integration is what matters.
