The deal aims to improve Bloomtech's position to penetrate related sectors, including non-financial ones, where the company's services can also be in demand, said Tinkoff Artem Feokstistov, a fintech expert and former SRO of international projects.

World experience shows that customer profiling, both financial and social, and even more so anti-fraud, is quite in demand in telecommunications and e-commerce, "he explained.

United Investors co-founder Alexander Gorny, in turn, points out that the new shareholder corresponds to the company's business.

This is the very case when we can talk about synergy. It seems that everyone should be in the win, - notes Gorny.

Dsight founder Arseny Dabbach believes that we can expect a full takeover of this startup, but for now co-owners will earn and distribute dividends to shareholders. The participation of an investor such as JSC GS INVEST can significantly increase the company's revenue, he added.
