Specimen Bond printed by American Bank Note Company. 

Xerox Credit Overseas Finance N.V. was a Dutch-registered public limited liability company, or Naamloze Vennootschap (N.V.), that functioned as a financing subsidiary for the parent corporation, Xerox. As a non-U.S. financing arm, it played a key role in the company's international operations, facilitating the leasing and sale of Xerox equipment outside of the United States. A typical function of such an N.V. entity is to raise capital by issuing shares to support the parent company's activities. This strategy enabled Xerox to expand its global reach, provide financing options to its international customers, and manage foreign exchange and tax matters for its operations abroad.

While Xerox has maintained a large network of international financing subsidiaries over the years, the specific entity Xerox Credit Overseas Finance N.V. likely existed to serve a particular purpose during a certain period of the corporation's history. Over time, corporations restructure their international subsidiaries for a variety of reasons, including changes in tax laws, shifting market conditions, or corporate reorganizations. The company has evolved its financial services model, including strategic partnerships like the one with PEAC Solutions, to continue offering financing solutions to its global customers. Therefore, Xerox Credit Overseas Finance N.V. represents a specific part of the long and complex history of Xerox's global financial activities.
