Martin Blessing announces latest Spac targeting European fintechs

The former Commerzbank chief executive and co-head of wealth management at UBS heads a strong team to help company founders with running a public company.

Martin Blessing is the latest high-profile European banker to set up a special purpose acquisition company (Spac) focused on financial services and fintech.

As chief executive, he heads an impressive team at European FinTech IPO Company 1 (EFIC1), which intends to float on Euronext Amsterdam before the end of March and to raise €415 million – more than most Spacs, which typically raise between €250 million and €300 million – through the sale of shares and warrants.
