The process was managed entirely by the bank's team. The legal advisor is the law firm "Tsvetkova, Bebov and Partners", a member of Eversheds Sutherland. Over the past four years, the bank has established itself as the leader in the Bulgarian public bond market by number of issues.

The largest banks by assets in Bulgaria Data from the Bulgarian National Bank (BNB) showed that the leader in terms of assets remains United Bulgarian Bank (UBB) in 2024. It took this position in the second quarter of 2023, after the merger with KBS Bank – the successor to Raiffeisenbank Bulgaria – was finalized. UBB consolidated its leadership position, reporting a 10% annual growth in assets to BGN 37.5 billion. The second position this year is again for DSK Bank, whose assets increased by over 11% to BGN 36.5 billion. Although it is still BGN 1 billion behind the leader, compared to the previous year, the bank, which is a subsidiary of the Hungarian OTP Bank, has managed to catch up nearly BGN 300 million of its lag. In third position this year is UniCredit Bulbank, which was the largest bank in Bulgaria for decades, but lost first place in 2022. By the end of 2024, its assets were estimated at 34.9 billion BGN and grew by 8.6% per year. Thus, the assets of the three largest banks in Bulgaria are already approaching 109 billion BGN – over 56% of the total assets of the system (191.6 billion BGN) and over 50% of the value of the entire Bulgarian economy in 2024 (202 billion BGN according to preliminary data). The fourth in terms of asset value is Postbank. It is it that also reports the largest increase – over 16% to 22.6 billion BGN. In fifth place is the largest bank with predominantly Bulgarian ownership – First Investment Bank (FIB) – with assets worth 15.8 billion BGN. Thus, the banks in the Top 5 manage assets that are estimated at nearly 77% of the entire banking system and 73% of the country's economy. Central Cooperative Bank (CCB) occupies the sixth position with assets of 9 billion leva. Seventh place goes to ProCredit Bank, which reports some of the largest growth for the year in the business segment. Allianz Bank occupies the eighth position, and the only shift in the top 10 is at tbi bank, which managed to attract attention with its significantly higher interest rates on deposits - a policy that helped it attract resources with which to accelerate lending. With this approach, at the end of 2023, the bank entered the top 10 by assets in Bulgaria, and at the end of 2024 it is already ninth with assets of 3.5 billion leva. The last bank in the top 10 is another one with Bulgarian ownership and a focus on corporate lending - Investbank - with assets of 3.5 billion leva.

Founded in Bulgaria more than a decade ago, the fintech company myPOS has grown into a network of companies in different countries headquartered in London, its customers exceeded 250 thousand, and revenues - 80 million euros. At the beginning of 2024, myPOS became the property of the American private equity fund Advent International. Consolidated data of the parent company for 2023 report revenues of 83.6 million euros, growing from 60.1 million euros a year earlier, and profit slightly decreased from 5.4 to 3.9 million euros. The total volume of transactions in 2024 increased by 30% to nearly 14 billion euros. Of these, online transactions are 273 million euros, with their number increasing by 40%. At the same time, the company's customers increased by 42%, exceeding 250 thousand merchants across Europe. Since the beginning of this year, the UK-based fintech company has made a total of four acquisitions. The first was in January, when myPOS acquired the French company Toporder, a company for cash register software and digital sales management solutions. The aim of the deal is for the Varna-based company to strengthen its position in retail and HoReCa (the hospitality, restaurant and catering industry) in France. After the acquisition by the fintech company, they have merged their own product with that of the French company, and are now offering it to businesses in the country. In March, the acquisition of the UK-based payment solutions provider UTP Group Ltd was announced. The company is a distributor and, according to him, works with over 200 merchants across the market and will sell the fintech company's products. Also in March, another distributor was acquired, but this time based in Hungary. With the purchase of IQOM, the fintech company will have a regional center for Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) in Budapest, from where it will serve 12 markets in the Baltics and the Mediterranean. myPOS has also acquired the Munich-based fintech company Lavego AG, specializing in Girocard acceptance and secure payment solutions. The fintech company, which offers payment software and POS terminals for small and medium-sized businesses, was founded in 2012 in Varna and its founders are Hristo Georgiev and Yavor Petrov. In 2017, its headquarters moved to the UK, when the company myPOS World Ltd was established. It has subsidiaries in many countries, but a large part of its real activity, as well as most of its employees, are concentrated in Bulgaria. Here the company operates through the company "MyPOS Services", and until the beginning of 2025 through "MyPOS Technologies". The revenue of the former for 2023 grew minimally to 24.8 million leva from 23.3 million a year earlier. The second, which carried out research and development activities and developed the company's technological solutions, reported 94.3 million leva and a profit of 15.2 million. Payment services in the country are provided by "Icart", the other key company founded by Hristo Georgiev. At the beginning of the year, its customers in Bulgaria were nearly 15 thousand, and in 2024 they recorded a growth of about 42 percent. The total volume of transactions increased by 63% and reached over 1.1 billion euros. 80% of myPOS's approximately 800 employees are in the country, mainly in Varna, with a hundred in its office in Sofia. Currently, myPOS's main markets are France, Italy, Bulgaria and the UK. With the acquisitions this year, the company will strengthen its presence in the UK and CEE, as well as enter Germany. In addition to its POS terminals for merchants in the UK and France, it also offers business loans, and is currently preparing to launch them in the Netherlands. A little over a year after Advent International became the owner of myPOS, in April 2025 it became clear that the American fund had signed an agreement to buy TBI Bank, with the deal likely to be completed by the end of the year. The price of the small but aggressively growing Bulgarian bank will be above its book value, i.e. at least 300 million euros.

The European Commission has cleared the US investment fund Advent International to acquire Bulgaria's TBI Bank on its own after finding that the merger would not threaten competition in the common market, as it would only affect the banking sector in Bulgaria, Greece and Romania. The Commission concluded that the deal concerns companies with limited market positions and would not raise competition concerns. TBI Bank, the ninth largest bank in Bulgaria, is owned by Dutch-registered TBI Financial Services, and the acquisition was announced in April, without disclosing the price of the deal. Advent also owns Bulgarian fintech MyPos.

The American investment fund Advent International, which last year acquired the fintech company with Bulgarian roots myPOS, has announced a new large-scale deal worth $1.3 billion to buy Swiss microchip manufacturer U-Blox. Advent International will buy its shares at a price of 135 Swiss francs per share. This represents a significant premium of 53% compared to the average share price for the last six months before the first media reports about the possible deal appeared. The deal will be implemented through a subsidiary of Advent - ZI Zenith. It is expected to be completed within the next six months. U-Blox will be delisted. U-Blox, which has been a public company since 2007 and is listed on the Swiss stock exchange SIX, is a specialized manufacturer of microchips and car navigation software. The company managed to reduce its loss before interest and taxes for the first half of the year to 7.7 million francs, compared to a 28 million loss a year earlier. Earlier this year, the company sold its cellular module manufacturing division for wireless communication to focus on navigation and positioning technologies used in cars, robots and agricultural machinery. In early June, U-Blox finalized the sale of its mobile communications business to Irish IoT company Trasna. Advent International acquired myPOS for about half a million euros in a deal that was finalized in June last year. A few days ago, the European Commission approved another acquisition of itss that is related to the Bulgarian market - that of tbi bank. The deal is expected to be finalized by the end of the year. However, the fund also has another earlier connection with our country - its associated Viva Ventures acquired BTC in 2004, only to then sell the state-owned telecom to AIG in 2007.
