Banks for sale

Can you buy a bank?

The purchase of a ready-made old bank with the appropriate license is possible after the permissions of the supervisory community are obtained. To negotiate the acquisition of a banking institution, the buyer must meet certain requirements:

• prepare an official request from the company or the owner, indicating the actual experience in the financial and banking sector, the level of education and intentions;
• have real money on the account, and not a loan or any incomprehensible virtual money, and provide confirmation of the legality of this money;
• conclude an agreement on data confidentiality and commissions when the purchase takes place;
• bear the costs of collecting certificates and organizational issues;
• understand the purpose of the purchase.

Thus, it becomes clear that it is possible, and even necessary, to buy a chartered bank, because it is much more profitable than creating a company from scratch.

Are banks a good investment?

A banking institution is a serious asset with a high level of liquidity. Such a business will always be in demand, regardless of the price level of fuel and energy, economics and political aspects.

What exactly are the benefits of owning an old bank? Let’s consider them in more detail.

1. Expansion of the line of goods and services. A firm may acquire a bank that has promising online services, innovative services, or interesting products. So the business owner can save himself from developing something new and a constant battle for a patent. In addition, it will be possible to implement such innovations immediately after the acquisition of the business.
2. Economical yet effective extension. When you buy a bank, you get offices, a customer base, trademarks, employees – everything that belongs to this institution.
3. Opening access to a new market community. You can buy a bank in a new country or region and get a good infrastructure for quality activities.
4. In order not to master jurisdictions for months and not work exclusively to create an honest name and implementation of norms federally, but to make a profit right away, the ideal solution is to buy a ready-made commercial structure.

Features of buying a bank

Gone are the days when opening banking institutions was easy and effortless. Today, creating a business related to finance is a very time-consuming and expensive process. And as practice shows, buying a ready-made business takes much less time, effort and money than creating a company from scratch.

Having decided to purchase a ready-made bank, you get:

• license to conduct financial activities. The document is already ready, so you don’t have to collect documents for a long time and worry for months that the regulator will be refused;
• an established management system – often, an institution that has a profit does not need large changes;
• experienced employees hired federally – management personnel, qualified managers and experienced specialists can remain working after the transfer of property rights;
• ready-made merchant account for corporate payments;
• the customer base is probably the main advantage of the purchase.

But do not forget that not all banking institutions are profitable. Sometimes banks are sold in order not to declare bankruptcy. That is why it is worth entrusting the selection of a suitable company to our specialists. We conduct a full audit of the transparency of banks and determine the most profitable and promising options for each client.

Banking institutions are specialized and universal. Specialized ones work in one direction. Within this category, the following subgroups can be distinguished:

• savings, with favorable conditions for deposits;
• investment – the main focus – stock transactions;
• mortgages – provide loans for real estate.

Universal banks can operate in all areas.

Also, such institutions may have a different legal form: LLC and JSC.

1. The founders of an LLC are both legal entities and individuals. At the same time, more than 50 people cannot work in such a bank.
2. A joint stock company may be non-public or public. In such a bank, the capital is divided among the shareholders – the more shares a person has, the more rights.
3. Private establishments. Any private banking establishment belongs to individuals and may be sold if necessary.

Which bank is better to buy?

Starting a new bank, even a small one, is a risky undertaking. In any market segment, there will immediately be fierce competition from already established institutions, which are almost impossible to beat for a newcomer. Therefore, buying a ready-made bank that has a history and is already operating is much more profitable.

Before choosing a company to buy, decide what you intend to implement. Income, reputation, quality of service – prioritize and choose according to them. An important aspect is also the specification of the direction of the company. If an entrepreneur intends to expand the range of services he/she offers and issue, for example, cryptocurrency cards, it will be necessary to apply for an additional license, which is subject to other regulations.

To choose the right bank for sale, you need to evaluate the type of license, balance sheet, assets, liquidity, service and a lot of other nuances. Doing all the checks on your own is as difficult as possible, so the best way out is to contact our professionals who know all the nuances of these procedures.

How much does it cost to buy a bank?

The cost of the chartered bank depends on the jurisdiction where the institution is located, the profitability and liquidity of the bank, as well as, whether it is a small or bigger establishment. It is important that this legal entity has experience and transparent reporting, due to which it will be approved by regulatory authorities.

A bank is a well-established system that has been profitable for years, regardless of the time of year, the economy and other factors. In addition, the official license for such a business is quite expensive.
