Orange is entering into exclusive negotiations with BNP Paribas
over the sale of Orange Bank as the group seeks to pull out of the
retail banking market.
The French telecommunications company said late Wednesday that
the talks would focus on the Orange Bank customer portfolio in
France, and the terms of a takeover of Orange Bank's business in
Spain.
Orange Bank carries a solid balance sheet with over two million
customers, said Orange Chief Executive Christel Heydemann, and the
process will have no impact on the group's financial targets
through 2025.
