French bank announced the selling of SG Finans AS, its equipment finance and factoring activities in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, to Nordea Finance. It’s the asset-based finance & factoring arm of Nordea Bank, which is one of the largest financial services groups in the Nordics.

The transaction is expected to have a positive impact on the Group’s CET1 ratio of around 10 basis points. As to the negative impact, goodwill impairment and fixed asset impairments will cost around €100 million.

Along with that, Societe Generale Equipment Finance (SGEF) and Nordea Finance have entered into a commercial agreement. They aim to encompass the provision of mutual services in vendor solutions and equipment finance.

Collaboration is based on the geographical complementarity and combined strengths of the 2 institutions, offering a wide range of products and services to international vendors.

With this agreement, Societe Generale makes once again a major step in the execution of its refocusing plan and demonstrates its ability to enter into long term partnerships. Societe Generale Equipment Finance is a leading player in equipment finance and Societe Generale will continue to leverage on SGEF’s ability to accompany its international vendors and clients and support the real economy
