Fortis desires to synergize with Dominet Bank

"We hope that we will already be the company's owners at the beginning of next year," said Marc Luet, deputy president of Fortis. The value of the transaction was not disclosed. "Dominet Bank has 152 outlets - the majority of them franchised - cooperates with 2,000 car sales outlets, has 250,000 retail clients and it is in the top 10 of the largest providers of consumption loans on the market," said Luet. The companies will not merge and each of them will be responsible for a different segment. Dominet will concentrate on retail trade, while Fortis will provide services to corporations, small and medium enterprises and more wealthy individuals. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1,8-9) M.M.
