Großbank: Unicredit beteiligt sich an deutschem Finanz-Start-up
Das italienische Geldhaus kündigt eine Beteiligung an VC Trade an. Mit dem Einstieg will Unicredit die internationale Expansion des Start-ups unterstützen.
Frankfurt - Italian banking giant Unicredit has entered into a partnership with a German specialized company focused on corporate financing, known as VC Trade. The bank announced its involvement on Tuesday, though it refrained from disclosing financial specifics. VC Trade, established in 2016, operates an online marketplace for consortium loans and debentures.
According to Unicredit, the move aims to support the company's international expansion. Additionally, the bank retains the option to increase its stake in the Frankfurt-based enterprise. Unicredit is also in ongoing negotiations for a takeover of Commerzbank, a move that was recently approved by the German government, which previously blocked the transaction due to its 13% stake in the institution. The bank has already secured nearly half of the shares of the German competitor.
