Advent to acquire FNZ Bank from FNZ
Advent has agreed to acquire FNZ Bank, a German digital institution serving financial advisers, asset managers and investors, from wealth management platform FNZ.
The bank focuses on wealth management customers in Germany and will remain a client of FNZ following the transaction, with the two companies planning to continue their technology partnership to support the bank’s growth and client offering.
The divestiture sharpens FNZ’s focus on its core technology services for large financial institutions.
