Mexican vehicle fleet leasing firm Facileasing said Wednesday it is in discussions to sell itself to Mexico's largest bank group, BBVA Bancomer.

In a statement with the Mexican Stock Exchange, Facileasing said the deal, signed Tuesday, is subject to various conditions.

Facileasing did not divulge the price of the sale.

Facileasing specializes in managing vehicle fleets for companies. The firm says it is a market leader in vehicle leasing, with nearly 20 years experience operating in the Mexican market.

BBVA Bancomer is Mexico's largest bank and a unit of Spain's Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA (BBVA, BBVA.MC). BBVA doesn't currently offer leasing services in Mexico.

Leasing is a relatively small business in Mexico. According to data from banking regulator CNBV, which only regulates the leasing activities of four firms, the market reported income of 460 million pesos ($39 million) and MXN5.41 billion in assets as of end-2010.
