Abanka
Abanka was a bank based in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Overview
[edit]Abanka's origin go back to 1955, when the Yugoslav Bank for Foreign Trade established a branch in Ljubljana. In 1990 in the runup to the independence of Slovenia, it became an independent entity and rebranded itself as Abanka.[1]
In December 2015, Abanka absorbed Banka Celje, a local bank located in Celje.[1] In March 2018 it sold its leasing arm to Banka Sparkasse, the Slovenian affiliate of Erste Group.[2]
In June 2019, Nova Kreditna Banka Maribor (NKBM) announced the acquisition of Abanka, by then the third-largest Slovenian bank;[3] that transaction was completed on 1 September 2020.[4] NKBM was in turn purchased in 2021 by Budapest-based OTP Group, and on 22 August 2024 OTP integrated all its Slovenian operations under its own brand. By then, OTP had a share of around 30 percent of the Slovenian banking market.[5]
