RBMV Bank expressed interest in TSB, the British unit of Spain's Sabadell

11/28/2020

 
November 27, 2020 – RBMV Bank, the Royal Bank of Mount Vema has expressed interest in TSB, the British unit of Spain's Sabadell according to VSBCnews sources. The source said if this opportunity had come a year from now the RBMV Bank would be ready and willing to close a deal.  
 
The expression of interest comes after news that the Spanish lender Sabadell has given Goldman Sachs a mandate to sell its loss-making British unit TSB, a source aware of the arrangement told VSBCnews sources on Friday.
 
The source said that the process was under way and that Goldman Sachs, which had been hired by Sabadell in July to explore various options, had now been tasked with the sale of TSB.
 
The source did not provide any more details or a timetable of its planned divestiture.
 
Both Sabadell and Goldman Sachs declined to comment.
 
Sabadell and its bigger rival BBVA earlier on Friday announced they had called off merger talks.
 
Sabadell said in a press release after the merger talks were called off that it would now analyse strategic alternatives for its international assets, including TSB, which it bought in 2015, without elaborating further.
 
Spanish investment firm Alantra said "selling TSB will be complicated as Sabadell might be perceived as a forced seller, whilst Sabadell looks too small to compete in retail with top banks in Spain."
 
Spanish banks, such as Sabadell, had gone abroad in search of higher revenues, though Sabadell's 2015 purchase of TSB has been marred by major technology glitches.
 
Before entering into formal negotiations with BBVA earlier in November, Sabadell was focusing on an efficiency plan both in Spain, with a reduction a 1,800 jobs, and its British unit TSB.
 
Sabadell has said it expects TSB to break even in 2021 after booking a loss of 84 million euros in the third quarter.
 
As a part of its new strategy to focus on Spain, which will be spelled out in the first quarter of 2021, Sabadell said on Friday that it would extend and transform its efficiency programme in its home market.
