- Scheme of arrangement finalized between SelfWealth and Syfe
- Shareholders paid $0.28 cash per share on May 1 record date
- SelfWealth to be delisted from ASX effective May 8, 2025

Acquisition Finalized
SelfWealth Ltd (ASX:SWF) has officially completed its acquisition by Svava Pte Ltd, the parent company of the Syfe Group, through a scheme of arrangement implemented on May 7, 2025. This move brings to a close the months-long process of consolidation in the Australian fintech sector, with Syfe expanding its footprint by absorbing SelfWealth’s operations and customer base.
Shareholders of SelfWealth, excluding Syfe itself, received a cash payment of $0.28 for each share held as of the scheme record date on May 1. This cash consideration reflects the agreed valuation terms and provides a clear exit for investors who had been awaiting clarity on the deal’s completion.
Delisting and Market Impact
Following the acquisition, SelfWealth has announced its intention to apply for removal from the official ASX list, effective at the close of trading on May 8, 2025. This delisting marks the end of SelfWealth’s independent public company status and signals a transition to private ownership under Syfe’s control.
For the market, this consolidation reduces the number of standalone fintech players on the ASX, potentially tightening competition but also creating opportunities for Syfe to leverage SelfWealth’s technology and customer relationships. Investors will be watching closely to see how Syfe integrates the acquisition and whether it can deliver enhanced value through scale and innovation.
Looking Ahead
While the announcement confirms the transaction’s completion, it leaves open questions about Syfe’s strategic plans for SelfWealth’s platform and workforce. The absence of detailed guidance on integration or future growth initiatives means stakeholders must wait for further communications to understand the full implications.
CEO Craig Keary and the SelfWealth board have authorised the release, underscoring a smooth handover, but the fintech community will be keen to see how this acquisition shapes competitive dynamics in Australia’s digital wealth management space.
Bottom Line?
As SelfWealth exits the ASX, all eyes turn to Syfe’s next moves in reshaping Australia’s fintech landscape.
Questions in the middle?
- How will Syfe integrate SelfWealth’s technology and customer base?
- What are Syfe’s strategic plans post-acquisition for growth or product development?
- Will the $0.28 per share cash consideration reflect fair value for all shareholders?
