Garanti Mortgage to merge with Garanti Bank by year end

Garanti Bank and Garanti Mortgage (Domenia Credit IFN) have announced on Wednesday they have initiated formal procedures for the merge of the two companies in Romania, which should be concluded by year end, following the approval of the central bank and the completion of all legal requirements.

The bank said the merger does not influence in any way lending conditions for all those that have loans with Garanti Mortgage and that customers will be notified on this move.

“Our decision to merge the two companies is part of our long-term local strategy aimed to create a simplified business model, so we can serve better Garanti Group’s clients in the mortgage segment, from a single point, by the retail department within the bank” said Ufuk Tandogan, Garanti Group’s CEO.
