AIK Banka

Kranj – Gorenjska Banka, the Slovenian bank owned by the Serbian AIK Banka, has signed a deal to acquire the Slovenian subsidiary of the Russian Sberbank. Pending approval by regulators, the merger would create the third largest banking group in the country.

Ljubljana, 16 June – Finance reported on Wednesday that the Serbian AIK Banka is close to signing a deal to buy all of Russian Sberbank’s operations in Southeast Europe, including those in Slovenia. A potential merger of Sberbank in Slovenia and Gorenjska Banka, which is owned by AIK, would create the third largest banking group in the country.

According to B92, some media reported that the NLB bid was € 450 million, which is a false information.
Apparently the NLB came up with an offer that allowed the Slovenes to overtake the other two bidders - Raiffeisen and AIK Bank. B92 confirmed that the negotiation process is completed and that the contract is expected to be signed.

AIK bank offered about 395 million euros, according to the daily newspaper, citing unofficial sources.
