Sweden's Handelsbanken to exit Denmark and Finland as Q3 profit rises
Sweden's Handelsbanken said on Tuesday it would exit Denmark and Finland, as it saw little chance to grow without making major investments in those markets. Handelsbanken, one of Sweden's oldest banks and a major mortgage lender, said new regulatory frameworks meant the bank needed central staff functions and infrastructure in each market and that the synergies had decreased for small markets. "Despite a lasting presence in these markets, the bank's market position remains small and the bank sees little opportunity to scale up its offering without significant investment," Handelsbanken said in a statement, adding that the process to divest the operations had been initiated.

Payments firm Worldline's first half-results disappoint
French payments firm Worldline missed half-year operating earnings expectations on Tuesday, triggering a sharp drop in its share price as investors were disappointed it had not benefited more from shop reopenings after lockdowns. The company, which also announced it was buying Handelsbanken's card-acquiring activities in the Nordic countries, said half-year sales totalled 2.27 billion euros ($2.67 billion). Worldline shares were down 8% by 0850 GMT, wiping out a 7.3% rise since the start of this year.
