The Samolet group plans to buy a bank to obtain a banking license. The deal could close in the coming months, said Kirill Gurbanov, managing partner at Samolet Fintech.
The largest developer needs a banking license to be able to develop more flexible financial products, Gurbanov explained.
“Partners often don’t want to create unique, personalized products,” he said during the “Plane Big Day,” cited by Forbes.
Gurbanov added that it is usually difficult to convince banks to take steps in this direction. And having your own bank with a universal license will allow you to work with consumer loans, mortgages and deposits.
At the same time, regarding mortgages, the developer sees this area not as a business, but as an opportunity to “establish relationships” with a large flow of clients.
In October, the group announced the purchase of MIC Group. And in the summer the company became an investment partner of the new building aggregator Dombook.
