Danish brokerage Saxo Bank has received a non-binding offer from a consortium consisting of Altor Equity Partners and Centerbridge Partners, according to reports to Bloomberg News.

In addition, Interactive Brokers Grup has shown an initial interest in the business.

Sources say that deliberations within Saxo Bank are ongoing and that it may choose to reject a transaction.

Saxo announced last summer that it had hired Goldman Sachs to help find new buyers. The primary goal is to achieve a direct sale. The company's owners are China's Zhejiang Geely Holding, Finland's Mandatum and founder Kim Fournais.

Spokespeople for Altor, Centerbridge, Mandatum and Saxo Bank declined to comment.

Saxo was established in 1992 and has about $120 billion in client assets.
