OTP banka (formerly Nova banka) is the eighth largest bank in the Croatian banking market, with the total assets of HRK 12.5 billion. In its widely spread network consisting of 99 branches throughout Croatia, around 1,000 of its employees provide services to over 400,000 retail as well as corporate customers.
The registered office of the Bank is in Zadar, and its business centres are located in Zagreb, Pula, Split, Sisak, Dubrovnik and Osijek. Six months after the arrival of the new majority owner – OTP bank, the largest Hungarian bank - Nova banka changed its name to OTP banka.
Nova banka was created in 2002 by the merger of three regional banks: Dalmatinska banka, Istarska banka and Sisačka banka, and then expanded by the acquisition of Dubrovačka banka in October 2004.
This ended the process of legal and operational merger, one of the most complex and demanding processes ever to take place in the Croatian banking market, and the result of which was a stable and profitable banking institution.
Since its beginning, the bank has been successfully adapting to the dynamic market changes, achieving increasingly more significant business results and strengthening its position.
In March 2005 the strongest Hungarian bank - OTP bank, operating not only in Hungary, but also in Bulgaria, Montenegro, Croatia, Russia, Slovakia, Serbia and Ukraine - became the new majority owner. Joining the OTP Group, OTP banka Hrvatska integrated its widely spread network and business tradition in the domicile regions with the highly developed banking know-how of a steadily growing international group.
Owing to the power of such new partnership, OTP banka has been continuously developing its business in line with the global quality standards in providing of financial services for the benefit of its customers, thus contributing to the overall banking development in Croatia.
