Westpac Group: Sells Strategic Alliances business

  • Westpac Group announced that it has entered into an agreement for the sale of its Vendor Finance business to Angle Finance
  • Vendor Finance supports third parties to fund small ticket equipment finance loans to around 42,000 Australian businesses
  • The transaction expected to result in the transfer of around $500 million of customer loans
  • The sale represents the first transaction of the Group’s simplification initiatives and brings certainty for Vendor Finance customers
  • Given the relatively modest size of the portfolio, the sale expected to have a negligible impact on Westpac’s balance sheet
  • Westpac will continue to retain and manage the remaining CFAL Equipment Finance business in its Business Division
