G\u00f3mez-Acebo & Pombo has advised ING on the acquisition of a 44% stake in Singular Bank<\/strong>, a leading Spanish private banking and wealth management institution.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The transaction was completed through the acquisition of part of the stake previously held by Warburg Pincus<\/a>. The US private equity firm agreed to sell its 93.41% shareholding in Singular Bank to a group of investors that includes ING<\/a>, Actinver, ProA Capital and several Spanish investors. The deal marks the definitive exit of the US private equity firm from the bank\u2019s shareholder structure and represents a significant milestone in the evolution of Singular Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the acquisition of a 44% stake, ING reinforces its strategic position in the Spanish private banking market and becomes a key shareholder in Singular Bank. The investment supports ING\u2019s ambition to expand its wealth management and private banking offering across Europe, while further strengthening its presence in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transaction comes at a time of continued growth and transformation in the financial services sector. As demand for private banking and wealth management services increases, financial institutions are seeking to enhance their capabilities and broaden their client offering through strategic investments and partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ING Singular Bank transaction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ING Singular Bank transaction reflects the growing attractiveness of the Spanish wealth management market for both domestic and international investors. It also highlights the relevance of specialised financial institutions such as Singular Bank, which has built a strong position in the private banking sector by offering tailored services to high-net-worth individuals and families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transaction enables Singular Bank to enter a new phase of growth supported by a diversified shareholder base with long-term investment objectives. At the same time, the ING Singular Bank transaction reinforces ING\u2019s commitment to developing its private banking platform and expanding its footprint in key European markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The G\u00f3mez-Acebo & Pombo team advising ING on the acquisition of its stake in Singular Bank was led by Augusto Pi\u00f1el<\/strong> and included Valentina Rodr\u00edguez Hern\u00e1ndez, Sergio G\u00f3mez L\u00f3pez, Carlota Mazzuchelli Morales, Guillermo Men\u00e9ndez Herrero, Ignacio Mir\u00f3 Segarra and Jaime Goez Sanz<\/strong> from the Corporate\/M&A practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transaction also involved lawyers from several other practice areas across the Firm. The Regulatory team included Jos\u00e9 Francisco Canalejas Mer\u00edn, Ana Mart\u00ednez-Pina, Pablo Muelas Garc\u00eda and Gloria Garc\u00eda Caballero<\/strong>. The Criminal Law team comprised Javier Vinuesa Magnet, Mar\u00eda Flora Morillo Velarde Gal\u00e1n, Marta Mart\u00ednez-Almeida de Navasq\u00fc\u00e9s and Adri\u00e1n A. Fern\u00e1ndez Garc\u00eda<\/strong>. The Employment team included Delia Casta\u00f1os Dom\u00ednguez and Beatriz Garc\u00eda-Ferrer Gim\u00e9nez<\/strong>. The Intellectual Property team comprised B\u00e1rbara Sainz de Vicu\u00f1a, Diego Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez Bueno and Nicol\u00e1s Morales Pinedo<\/strong>, while Natalia Lastres M\u00e9ndez and \u00cd\u00f1igo Lastres Velasco<\/strong> advised on Real Estate matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
