Comment by Arko Kurtmann, Chairman of the Management Board of Coop Pank:

“The Bank's second-quarter results for 2026 confirm that the strategy we established at the beginning of the year is proving effective. Over recent quarters, we have achieved consistent growth while creating value for our customers, shareholders and the Estonian economy. Our second-quarter performance demonstrates that we are able to combine rapid growth with strong financial results.

The Bank’s loan portfolio continued to grow strongly, increasing by EUR 82 million during the quarter. Income rose by 7%, while operating expenses remained broadly unchanged compared with the previous quarter. Compared with the corresponding period last year, Coop Pank’s net profit increased by almost a quarter. This performance demonstrates our ability to scale the business more efficiently while maintaining disciplined cost control and delivering greater value to shareholders.

Our growth and strong financial performance were also recognised by an international credit rating agency. In May, Moody’s upgraded Coop Pank’s long-term deposit rating to Baa1, and in June assigned our covered bonds the highest possible rating of Aaa. These decisions reaffirm Coop Pank’s position as a trusted and financially resilient banking partner.

For us, customer trust is every bit as important as financial performance. We want choosing Coop Pank as a primary banking partner to create tangible value for customers every day. The continued growth in our customer base, coupled with the fact that our loan portfolio continues to outperform the market, demonstrates that an increasing number of individuals and businesses are choosing to entrust us with their financial affairs. This growing confidence motivates us to continue delivering even better products and services.

With this in mind, we launched our new Piirideta (“Unlimited”) banking package during the second quarter. While the Kasulik (“Useful”) package, introduced last year, focuses on customers’ everyday banking needs, the Piirideta package is designed for customers who travel frequently and actively use banking services outside Estonia. Alongside everyday banking services, the package includes travel insurance, free cash withdrawals abroad, interest on current account balances, a 1% purchase reward on purchases made in Coop stores, and a range of other practical benefits. This enables customers to manage their finances conveniently, wherever they may be.

The second quarter was also highly active in corporate banking. We supported the completion of several significant corporate acquisition and disposal transactions, while financing investment and expansion projects for Estonian industrial companies. These projects strengthen the competitiveness of Estonian businesses, create jobs and contribute to the country’s economic development.
To support the Bank’s continued growth and further strengthen its capital position, Coop Pank entered into a synthetic securitisation agreement with the European Investment Bank Group, which became effective on 30 June 2026. The transaction will enable us to provide approximately EUR 250 million of additional financing on favourable terms to Estonian small and medium-sized enterprises. Under the agreement with the European Investment Bank, part of this financing will be allocated to women-led businesses and part to investments in energy efficiency.

We also place great importance on contributing to Estonian society. For the third consecutive year, Coop Pank received the Gold Level recognition as a supporter of Estonia’s national defence. This reflects our continued commitment to those who contribute to the country’s security. We support employees participating in military exercises, have together with our customers contributed more than EUR 45,000 to the Reserve Forces Fund through the Kaardivägi programme, and during the second quarter temporarily extended the preferential Home Defender Loan terms, originally developed for active service members, to reservists as well.

We are equally proud that, for the second consecutive year, Coop Pank ranked among Estonia’s ten most reputable employers. The dedication and professionalism of our people have been one of the key reasons why we have been able to sustain rapid growth while maintaining high service standards and preserving our customers’ trust.

In summary, the second quarter of 2026 was characterised by strong and profitable growth, increasing customer confidence and a steadily strengthening position in the Estonian banking market. We continued investing in solutions that make everyday banking simpler and more rewarding for our customers, while demonstrating that rapid growth and responsible banking can go hand in hand.”
