FinTech Group - Banking joint venture with Austrian Post
FinTech Group (FTG) has announced a landmark 50/50 banking joint venture with Austrian Post (VIE: POST, market cap c €2.4bn) where FTG is supplying the technology while Post offers its established infrastructure. The deal creates a new growth arm for FTG that is expected to break even in 2022 and could act as a blueprint for similar deals in other countries. Meanwhile, H1 results were in line with expectations as margins benefited from strong growth in broking volumes. If FTG can meet its objective of generating €35m net income from the joint venture with Post by 2025, it would provide significant upside in the shares for the cost of the 7% dilution in the capital increase that has funded the deal.Flatex AG, formerly known as Fintech Group AG, is a Germany-based company engaged in the financial technology sector.
