DBAG has invested funds from its very own balance sheet to acquire a significant minority share in Stuttgart-based FinMatch AG. FinMatch’s digital platform connects mid-sized companies with more than 1,000 funding partners and has facilitated financing projects with a total volume in the double-digit billion range. Why this matters: 👉 Annual new debt financing amounts to over 100 billion euros in FinMatch’s core market alone 👉 FinMatch brings transparency, speed and choice to this market 👉 The investment is financed entirely from DBAG’s own balance sheet, this in turn means a more flexible strategic focus and support for DBAG’s portfolio companies as well as their growth plans We look forward to working with the team on the next stage of FinMatch’s growth.
