June 21, 2023 M&A

SEB Kort Bank AB ("SEB Kort"), a wholly-owned subsidiary within the SEB Group, has entered into an agreement with Lufthansa Group to acquire all shares in Lufthansa AirPlus Servicekarten GmbH ("AirPlus").

Together, SEB Kort and AirPlus will become a leading European player in the corporate payments sector.

The transaction is, inter alia, subject to approvals from governmental authorities.

Vinge's team consisted of Daniel Rosvall and Viktor Lennartsson (M&A) as well as Caroline Krassén (Financial Services).
