Serbian banking market continues with consolidation and \u017divkovi\u0107 Samard\u017ei\u0107 is again on the spot. \u017divkovi\u0107 Samard\u017ei\u0107, one of Serbia\u2019s leading full-service independent law firms, has advised the shareholders of Eurobank Direktna a.d. Beograd<\/a> (\u201cEurobank Direktna\u201d) on the sale of the entire stake of 100% in Eurobank Direktna to AIK Banka a.d. Beograd<\/a>(\u201cAIK Banka\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eurobank Direktna is headquartered in Belgrade and operates through 4 primary segments: Retail Banking, Corporate Banking, Small Business Banking & Digital Banking, and holds a market share of 6% in terms of total assets. It currently employs c. 1,600 employees, operates 98 branches and has a balance sheet size of \u20ac2.4bn. Eurobank Direktna is majority owned by Eurobank Holdings (70%) and former Direktna Banka shareholders (30%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eurobank Direktna has developed its banking business since entering the market in 2003 as Eurobank EFG Serbia. Following the merger with Direktna Banka, it has become number 8 in the market with market share of 5.5% in assets, loan portfolio of 1.7 billion euro and 1.5 billion euro deposits (as of September 2022). Through a wide network of branches and online platform, Eurobank Direktna provides a high-quality service to its clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the complementarity of the activities of the two banks, the combined bank would have attained an over 13% market share in total assets, with over 4 billion euro deposits and strong capital base of more than 800 million euros (as of September 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Completion of the transaction is subject to customary approvals by the competent regulatory and supervisory authorities and is expected to take place during the third quarter of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
