A close outlook

Strauss opined, “We have consistently continued to work on the project, despite what could be read in some places in the meantime. We are building something that appeals to young people and affects payments.”
The bank also says that it has plans underway to terminate the agreement in line with the sale of its assets in Mexico. It earlier on sought to sell them to Accendo Banco. It outlines that it will keep looking out for the alternative options.
