While the financial audit was completed in late 2021 early in 2022, on January 24, 2022, an agreement was signed for JP Morgan, the major US investment bank – through JP Morgan Payments – to purchase 48.51% of minority shareholders including Group Latsis which owns approximately 13% of DECA investments of businessman Daskalopoulos …

What’s up with JP Morgan?

JP Morgan has been consistent in its contractual obligations, even purchasing a bond loan that Viva Wallet entered into…
However, months have passed and there is no agreement and so we are approaching the predetermined date of November 30, 2022 and there is still no agreement…
JP Morgan and Viva Wallet declined to comment…but the bank news info is as follows

1) Harris Karonis seems to have other visions and goals, in general they don’t seem close to JP Morgan.
Note that Viva Wallet has a paid-up capital of 1.27 million, and shows losses…but it equals approximately 1.6-1.8 billion shares of total equity…
We really wonder how these valuations come out… In our opinion the company can’t be worth more than 700 million in total and we’re saying a lot…

2) Viva Wallet is a new bank but it means a lot and it means nothing.
It’s a payment system that we think is highly overrated.
The purpose is what is the profit for the shareholders… And the dividend shareholders did not wait for the minority shareholders to sell DECA from Daskalopoulos and Latsis to get the capital they invested and the goodwill…

3) Neither Viva Wallet nor Viva Bank have proven in our view to be able to make a profit.
Many will assume, how did JP Morgan pay such a high price if Viva Wallet had no value?
JP Morgan gave a high price as conditions were different during the call period, and now Viva Wallet is not worth what it gave… what it deserves…
How to evaluate the payment system seems to have many subjective methods… A group with limited capital and losses that we believe cannot be evaluated at these levels…
Of course, supply and demand determine valuations but using traditional valuation methods… We think Viva Wallet is overrated a valuation bubble…

The deal between Pankritia and Chania falls apart

The assumptions of 2021 with which the exchange relationship between Pancreas and the Chania Cooperative was carried out have changed dramatically since the Pancreas was boosted with 98.7 million funds… So either the terms will change or the deal will fall apart…
It seems that even Chania is not willing to change the terms of the agreement with the pancreas, so it seems that the deal will be canceled and each bank will follow an independent path …
In the meantime, Chania will have to beef up her finances, a development he looks set to kick off.
Pancreas will focus on accommodating HSBC which will be completed by March 2023…
The new Bankrita scheme with 2.7 billion assets and 175 to 180 million funds with HSBC 1.78 billion in assets and 1.68 billion in deposits will create a new €4.5 billion bank with a target sometime in 2024 for new shareholders of Thrivest Holding to list. On the Greek stock exchange…
