Delek Motors Explores Acquiring Control of Cal Credit Card Company

Delek Motors, controlled by Gil Agmon, is exploring a potential acquisition of Israel's Cal credit card company, valued at up to NIS 3.5 billion. This comes as Cal's current owner, Discount Bank, must divest its controlling stake by May 2027 due to competition reforms. A previous deal to sell Cal to Union Group and Harel Insurance was jeopardized by regulatory concerns, prompting renewed efforts to find a buyer. Other potential bidders include Centrige Group and Jerusalem Bank.
