OTP bank with the largest acquisition in the history of entering new European markets

The OTP Group has signed an agreement to acquire Luminor Bank, one of the leading universal banks in the Baltic region. This acquisition marks the largest takeover in OTP Group's history and represents a significant step in its international expansion. Upon obtaining necessary regulatory approvals, OTP Group will establish its presence in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, expanding its operations to a total of 14 markets. These countries are members of the European Monetary Union, and their banking sectors are under the supervision of the European Central Bank (ECB), which enhances OTP Group's footprint in the eurozone. Luminor serves customers and businesses across all three Baltic states and has strengthened its position through recent business model improvements, customer base expansion, and digital transformation. The acquisition is expected to increase OTP Group's consolidated balance sheet by approximately 13% and further boost its business operations in the euro area, reinforcing its status as one of the leading banking groups in Central and Eastern Europe.

OTP Group enters the Baltic markets with the largest acquisition in its history

Prevezem bo povečal njeno prisotnost v Estoniji, Latviji in Litvi, kar pomeni razširitev poslovanja na 14 držav. Luminor deluje s prebivalstvom in podjetji v vseh treh baltskih državah in je razvila svojo digitalno infrastrukturo. Po zaključku prevzema se pričakuje povečanje bilančne vsote Skupine OTP za 13 odstotkov. Péter Csányi, predsednik uprave OTP Bank na Madžarskem, je izrazil optimizem glede strategičnega vstopa v regijo.
