Business financing during the war: OTP BANK and OTP Leasing held a joint event for partners
OTP BANK JSC and OTP Leasing LLC jointly organized the conference “Financing the Future Together”, which brought together around 250 representatives of car dealers, construction companies, and importers.
During his speech, Volodymyr Mudryi, Chairman of the Management Board of OTP BANK, shared insights on macroeconomic trends, business lending programs, digital solutions, and presented the preliminary results of the outgoing year. “OTP BANK offers its own programs to support business development, participates in government initiatives, and implements projects together with global partners. Our performing corporate and retail portfolios have been growing since 2023: the corporate segment increased by 28.5%, and the retail one by 47.9% in 2025 compared to the previous year,” he noted.
Volodymyr Mudryi emphasized that Ukraine’s agricultural market remains one of the most dynamic sectors and generates significant revenues to the state budget. “OTP BANK offers financing programs for sowing campaigns, working capital replenishment, land purchase, energy efficiency projects, and more. Recently, we received the “Food Security Champion” award from the EBRD. This recognition highlights that the total amount of loans granted by the Bank under cooperation with the EBRD is the largest among all partner banks of this international organization,” stressed the Bank’s CEO. He also reminded that earlier this year, OTP BANK was recognized as the leader in the “Agro Loans” category in the “Top 25 Leading Banks” ranking conducted by Financial Club.
Furthermore, Volodymyr Mudryi underlined that one of the Bank’s key advantages is its high level of digitalization, which meets — and even exceeds — the expectations of today’s banking clients in Ukraine. The Bank continues to roll out innovative digital products and services such as the Ponova by OTP BANK used-car marketplace, a full remote trading cycle for government bonds (OVDPs), and partnerships with fintech companies Rozetka Pay and NovaPay.
“The Bank focuses on clients engaged in foreign economic activities. We are constantly developing digital services tailored to their needs, making cooperation with the Bank as convenient and efficient as possible. For instance, 97% of foreign currency purchase requests are processed on the same day,” noted OTP BANK’s CEO. Summing up, Volodymyr Mudryi highlighted that since 2022, OTP Group in Ukraine has implemented charitable projects totaling over UAH 264 million.
The conference also featured a panel discussion dedicated to the topic of sales during wartime. Representatives of Ukrainian agribusinesses, insurance companies, and car dealerships discussed how sales technologies have evolved, how priorities have shifted, and which core values drive success today.
For reference, OTP BANK is one of the largest Ukrainian banks with 100% foreign capital and is part of OTP Group, recognized by S&P Global Market Intelligence and The Banker as the most efficient banking group in Europe. Since 2023, OTP Group’s total assets have reached EUR 100 billion and continue to grow.
