FinLab : Deposit Solutions GmbH, aquires SAVEDO deposit portal

• Finlab holding, Deposit Solutions GmbH, acquires SAVEDO deposit portal
• The acquisition expedites the internationalization of Zinspilot's B2C business

Frankfurt am Main, 15.08.2017 - One of Finlab AG's (ISIN DE0001218063, Ticker: A7A.GR) largest holdings, Deposit Solutions GmbH, has just confirmed its acquisition of Berlin-based Fintech SAVEDO on August 10, 2017.

Having previously expanded its open banking platform with the addition of Zinspilot in September 2015, the merger with SAVEDO will now allow Deposit Solutions to expand its business in the B2C sector still further.

SAVEDO's more than 18,000 registered investors, 13 partner banks and two new foreign markets - Austria and the Netherlands - provides Deposit Solutions with a strong partner in the B2C sector.

Deposit Solutions' founder Tim Sievers is focused on internationalizing Zinspilot, which the acquisition of SAVEDO is aimed at advancing. SAVEDO is already available in several languages and possesses international expertise, technological know-how and a strong customer focus. Sievers underscored the fact that "the SAVEDO team has done an outstanding job and we are very much looking forward to working together with them".

SAVEDO founder Christian Tiessen is expecting significant added value for his clients and partner banks through the acquisition by Deposit Solutions GmbH, whose Zinspilot brand just broke the € 2 billion mark in brokered retail deposits. In addition to serving as SAVEDO CEO, going forward Tiessen will also assume responsibility for internationalizing B2C business at Deposit Solutions.
