    Payward plans to acquire Saldo Bank to obtain an EU banking license

    Payward has signed an agreement to acquire Finnish holding company Saldo Finance Oy, which owns Saldo Bank UAB, to obtain an EU banking license.

    推荐理由：The acquisition links the parent company of a crypto trading platform’s entry into EU banking with its existing market coverage and plans for deposits, lending and SEPA payments in a single transaction, with regulatory approval as a prerequisite for completion.
