据知情人士透露，黑石公司（BX.N）和华平投资正在探讨出售金融科技公司IntraFi，该交易可能使该公司估值超过100亿美元。
Inc (BX.N) and Warburg Pincus are exploring a sale of IntraFi that could value the financial technology company at more than $10 billion, according to people familiar with the matter.
知情人士称，这两家私募股权公司已聘请摩根士丹利（MS.N）和古根海姆证券为IntraFi的出售流程提供咨询，目前该流程处于早期阶段。这些人士因讨论非公开事项而要求匿名。
The private equity firms have hired Morgan Stanley(MS.N) and Guggenheim Securities to advise IntraFi on the sale process, which is in its early stages, said the people, who requested anonymity speaking about matters that are not public.
知情人士补充称，尚未做出最终决定，黑石和华平也可能选择继续持有该业务。
No final decision has been made and Blackstone and Warburg could opt to hold onto the business, the people added.
黑石和IntraFi拒绝置评。古根海姆、摩根士丹利和华平投资未立即回应置评请求。
Blackstone and IntraFi declined to comment. Guggenheim, Morgan Stanley and Warburg Pincus did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
总部位于弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的IntraFi运营着其所谓的美国最大互惠存款网络，帮助银行将客户资金分散存放在多家银行，以便为超过25万美元的余额提供联邦存款保险。
Arlington, Virginia-based IntraFi operates what it describes as the largest reciprocal deposit network in the United States, helping banks spread customers' money across multiple banks to provide federal deposit insurance on balances exceeding $250,000.
该公司的网络还允许银行买卖存款。存款过剩的银行可将其出售给需要资金的银行，IntraFi从交易中赚取费用。
The company's network also allows banks to buy and sell deposits. Banks with excess deposits can sell them to banks that need funding, with IntraFi earning fees from the transactions.
2023年硅谷银行倒闭使客户在存放资金方面更加挑剔，加剧了银行间争夺存款的竞争。
The failure of Silicon Valley Bank in 2023 made customers more selective about where they kept their money, intensifying competition among banks for deposits.
IntraFi由三名前银行监管官员于2002年创立，2019年被黑石从包括纽约梅隆银行（BNY.N）在内的一组投资者手中收购，当时公司名为Promontory Interfinancial Network。华平投资于2022年投资了该业务。知情人士称，IntraFi年息税折旧摊销前利润（EBITDA）达6.3亿美元。
Founded in 2002 by three former bank regulators, IntraFi was acquired by Blackstone in 2019 from a group of backers that included Bank of New York Mellon (BNY.N), when the company was known as Promontory Interfinancial Network. Warburg Pincus invested in the business in 2022. IntraFi generates $630 million in annual EBITDA, the sources said.
此次出售流程正值私募股权公司寻求利用交易环境改善之际。华平投资近期同意出售McGill and Partners和WildFire Energy，而黑石本月同意以约22亿英镑将Clarion Events出售给Informa。
The sale process comes as private equity firms seek to capitalize on improving dealmaking conditions. Warburg Pincus recently agreed to sell McGill and Partners and WildFire Energy, while Blackstone this month agreed to sell Clarion Events to Informa for about 2.2 billion pounds.
彭博新闻社2024年曾报道，这两家公司此前曾探讨出售IntraFi。
