The purpose of the transaction is to increase the share of the innovative subscription-based car business in Inbank’s portfolio and to accelerate Mobire’s growth in the Baltics. The acquisition of an additional stake in the Mobire Group will not have a significant impact on the economic activities of Inbank.
According to Margus Kastein, Head of Inbank’s Baltic Business Unit and Member of the Board, as a growth-oriented company, Inbank invests in business models with international scalability. ‘The whole world is rapidly moving in the direction where renting various goods or services replaces buying them. We believe that Mobire has great growth potential throughout the Baltics,’ explained Kastein. He added that Inbank knows the field of car financing and the Baltic market well, which is why Mobire is a good fit with Inbank’s long-term strategy.
