Comment by Paavo Truu, Member of the Management Board and CFO of Coop Pank:
"In February, the shortest month of the year, Coop Pank achieved solid business growth and strong profitability.
Thanks to the increasing number of customers and actively transacting clients, the bank also grew its domestic deposit volume, allowing it to reduce reliance on deposits from international platforms. As term deposit interest rates are rapidly declining, private customers are showing growing interest in savings deposits. To meet this demand, Coop Pank offers the increasingly popular Rahasahtel savings account with a 2% interest rate and the Lastehoius children's savings account with a 3.1% interest rate.
The bank’s loan portfolio also saw solid growth in February. While demand for leasing and consumer loans was modest at the beginning of the year, as expected, the declining Euribor has increased interest in business and home loans.
In line with Coop Pank’s values and its commitment to supporting the development and well-being of Estonian society, in February, celebration of Estonia’s Independence Day, we introduced a special mortgage offer for police officers, rescue workers, and military personnel. Additionally, we gave customers the option to stop using physical bank cards and switch entirely to virtual cards. With this, Coop Pank became the second bank in Estonia to offer a more convenient and secure digital payment solution.
Coop Pank continues on a steady growth path – over the past year, the bank’s customer base has grown by 13%, deposits by 12%, and the loan portfolio by 18%."
