The institution increases its credit portfolio by 11.3%, its assets managed off the balance sheet by 15% and its client base by 30% with this purchase.
The impact of the operation on the balance sheet of Bankinter, on its income statement and on the situation of capital and liquidity is very limited and perfectly feasible.
