Analysis

Samkeppniseftirlitið hefur haft til umfjöllunar samruna Kviku banka hf. („Kvika“) og Netgíró hf. („Netgíró“). Samkvæmt samrunaskrá er aðalstarfsemi samstæðu Kviku einkum eigna- og sjóðastýring, markaðsviðskipti, fyrirtækjaráðgjöf, bankaþjónusta og lánastarfsemi. Þar segir einnig að Netgíró sé lánafyrirtæki sem starfræki rafræna greiðslulausn sem geri neytendum kleift að taka neyslulán til að fjármagna kaup á vörum hjá tilteknum endursöluaðilum.

Following an investigation and having regard to the evidence, the Competition Authority is of the opinion that the merger does not prevent effective competition and therefore does not result in the creation of a dominant position. Furthermore, it does not otherwise lead to a significant distortion of competition in the market. Therefore, there are no grounds to take action regarding the merger under Article 17(c) of the Competition Act No. 44/2005.
