A long line of foreign investors has formed to buy PKO BP’s eService system, following last year’s announcement that it would be putting its online payment business up for sale. According the the daily Puls Biznesu, the list includes eight companies looking to enter the Polish market through this type of deal. The biggest of them could be Global Payments. “We’re interested in a partnership deal, a sort of joint venture, under which both parties add value to the project,” says Paweł Borys of PKO BP.
The lender aims to offload a 67 percent stake in eService through a tender that could bring in as much as PLN 200m. According to the daily, EVO Payments, Worldpay and Six Payments could be among the other bidders.
