Under the partnership, in a first step FinTech Group's subsidiary biw Bank, one of the most successful and fastest growing European deposit-taking technology banks, will lend MyBucks SA an initial EUR 8m. In addition, FinTech Group is in discussion with various institutional investors to syndicate the loan, which can increase the amount of debt funding provided to MyBucks. The goal will be to increase the credit volume provided by biw Bank and its co-lenders to EUR 40m in the medium-term. In a second step, FinTech Group and MyBucks are further looking to expand into several European markets together. Tim Nuy, Deputy CEO MyBucks SA says that the combination of MyBucks' unique and proven machine learning credit scoring technology and FinTech Group's Europe-wide banking license and efficient banking technology is a unique and winning combination. MyBucks already has operations in Spain and Poland. "MyBucks is already expanding its offering both in Africa and Europe by adding insurance and banking products to its core lending product. FinTech Group and MyBucks also intend to co-operate on the technology side, using FinTech Group's core banking platform to ultimately create a full service online retail bank", Nuy says. Frank Niehage, CEO of FinTech Group says "We have done extensive due diligence and are impressed with the credit scoring technology and risk management of MyBucks. We are very pleased about the partnership and look forward to expanding and growing it." Nuy says, "FinTech Group is undoubtedly the market and innovation leader in transaction banking and technology and outsourcing solutions for financial services companies in Europe. Especially its cash-rich balance sheet with large retail cash deposits derived from FinTech Group's online brokerage activities make it the perfect partner for us to quickly grow our lending book." MyBucks CEO, Dave van Niekerk says, "The success of our business is based on our ability to create scale and efficiencies through technology. This is further enhanced through unique partners like Opportunity International from the US and the latest partnership with the FinTech Group. It certainly helps being listed in Germany, which in the second quarter of the year took the lead as the fintech funding capital for the EU."
