OTP Group has reached an important milestone in Slovenia. Today, two members of the banking group, Nova KBM d.d. and SKB banka d.d - after all the necessary regulatory approvals - successfully completed the legal and operational merger, and will continue to operate under one brand name, OTP banka. This is the largest bank merger in the history of Slovenia, and OTP banka will have the largest market share of loans and deposits in Slovenia* becoming the second largest non-Hungarian branch of the international OTP Group (after the Bulgarian DSK Bank).
The new bank will build itself on the best of both banks. With around 2,500 employees and their broad knowledge and commitment, OTP Group in Slovenia will continue to provide excellent universal banking services based on trust, establish solid relationships with clients, digital developments and contribute to the growth and development of the Slovenian economy.
