Amnon Shaashua examines sale of control of digital bank One Zero

In depth

Amnon Shaashua, controlling shareholder of the digital bank One Zero, is examining a sale of control of the bank at a valuation of about NIS 1.2 billion, or the entry of a financial investor. At this stage it has not yet been decided whether this will be a sale of control or only the entry of a financial investor. Shaashua holds about 60% of the bank.

The bank has accumulated losses of about NIS 1.3 billion, and Shaashua refuses to inject additional capital into the bank. He has injected about half a billion shekels into the bank. One Zero lost about NIS 84 million in the first half of 2026, and recently announced the layoff of 10% of its employees. The bank said it is receiving inquiries.

The investment house Meitav and businessman Moti Ben-Moshe expressed interest in buying. Shaashua said the talks concern investments only. The bank reports inquiries from several bodies interested in investing in it, without names and without amounts.
