Czech investment group PPF and its consumer banking arm have signed a deal to sell their banking assets in Russia.
As per the terms of the agreement, a consortium of Russian individual investors led by Ivan Tyryshkin will acquire Home Credit and Finance Bank (HCFB) and its subsidiaries.
HCFB is the subsidiary of Home Credit, which is PPF’s retail banking affiliate.
PPF did not reveal the financial value or other details of the transaction as it joins other European peers in reducing exposure to Russia after it invaded Ukraine.
The divesture will mark Home Credit’s exit from the Russian market.
