EVO Finance, financial firm property of Apollo Global Management and former subsidiary of EVO Banco, has announced to workers' representatives the company closure, affecting its 114 workers. Specifically, 71 employees will be dismissed soon while the rest will be working up to June 30, 2020. This announcement comes after Bankinter bought Smart Holdco in September 2018, owner of EVO Bank. In the operation, the purchase of EVO Finance was excluded, depending exclusively of Apollo Global Management. Unions criticize the lack of information of company sale processes during last months and consider that there have been insufficient efforts for the sale to maintain employment.
