Nordiska Kreditmarknadsaktiebolaget (publ) (Nasdaq Stockholm: NOKRE001) (“Nordiska”) announces that it aims to combine Swiss Bankers and Omnio with Nordiska to create a pan-European financial solutions group.
Swiss Bankers is the market leader in prepaid cards in Switzerland, provides innovative, deposit-based payment products, and offers solutions in cashless, globally secure payment transactions. As of 30 June 2022, Swiss Bankers, which holds a banking licence, had total assets of approximately CHF 390m.
Omnio is an embedded finance business that integrates retail financial services and loyalty and rewards within other ecosystems for non-banks and banks active in the UK, Ireland and Italy. Omnio, via its cloud based core platform, combines Banking-as-a-Service with API-driven banking and payments services to build financial products without any hassle to clients (banks and large corporations). Omnio serves over 300,000 clients via more than 20 financial and non-financial institutions.
As part of the transaction, DDM Group (“DDM”) will invest approximately SEK 450m to SEK 550m and thus strengthen Nordiska’s regulatory capital whilst becoming the largest shareholder.
