UK challenger Bank CYBG, the owner of the Clydesdale Bank, Yorkshire Bank and B brands, has announced that it has made a preliminary approach regarding a potential all share combination of CYBG and Virgin Money.
In a statement, CYBG said: “CYBG believes the combination would create the UK’s leading challenger bank with a powerful full-service banking offer for six million personal and business customers.”
CYBG, which made its London market debut in 2016 after it was spun off by National Australia Bank, said Virgin Money would own about 36.5 percent of the combined company. Virgin Money shareholders would receive 1.13 new CYBG shares for each Virgin Money share.
