Following its 1st place ranking in 2024, OTP Group has reaffirmed its strong financial stability, sound governance, and operational efficiency, maintaining a leading position in the European banking sector in 2025.

Since the early 2000s, the Group has successfully integrated 25 banks and has been listed on the Budapest Stock Exchange since 1995.
In 2023, OTP Group entered the Central Asian market by acquiring a majority stake in Ipoteka Bank, one of Uzbekistan’s largest universal banks. Since the integration, the Group has been introducing advanced technologies, ESG standards, and international best practices in corporate governance.
