Rich Laxer, GE Capital chairman and chief executive, said: “As we work to execute on our strategy to sell most of GE Capital’s assets we are pleased to sell Bank BPH’s Core Bank to Alior Bank, one of Poland’s most well-respected banks and focused on growth.
“We wish our colleagues in Bank BPH’s Core Bank a successful future as they join Alior Bank.”
The fourth sale of a finance and leasing operation this year, following France, Germany, and India, this continued GE Capital’s drive towards being a ‘simpler, more valuable company’.
GE Capital plans to complete the sale of $200bn worth of businesses by the end of 2016, and has closed $178bn worth since April 2015.
