Ipoteka Bank OTP Group is a Uzbekistan-licensed commercial bank (Central Bank license No. 74) headquartered in Tashkent, operating as the country's designated national mortgage (ipoteka) operator since its founding in 2007. Following privatization in summer 2023, the bank is majority-owned by OTP Group of Hungary (73.71% stake), with the International Finance Corporation holding an 8.7% stake since its 2026 conversion of a $35 million pre-privatization loan.

Corporate banking includes investment loans, revolving working capital lines, escrow-backed project financing for Tashkent real estate, trade finance (documentary credits, bank guarantees under UCP 600 / URDG 758), domestic and export factoring via FCI, export/pre-export financing, modular loans, and treasury services in USD/EUR/GBP/JPY/RUB. Technology stack features 1C: Dibank ERP integration, OpenAPI service for direct ERP-to-bank document exchange, SWIFT MT940 international statement feeds for overseas parents, and ISO 9001:2015 quality certification.

Ipoteka Bank earns revenue primarily through net interest income on its $2.7 billion loan portfolio (interest spreads on mortgages, microloans at 24–48% per annum, auto and corporate lending), supplemented by transaction fees across acquiring (0.65% on UzQR HUMO/UZCARD effective July 2026), trade finance, factoring, FX, and bank guarantees. As of 2024 the bank reported $3.8 billion in total assets, 4,300+ employees, and $145 million in net profit; 2025 results were record-high with 1.763 trillion soums in net profit, ROE of 22.4%, ROA of 3.5%, and the bank was ranked the most profitable in Uzbekistan in Q1 2026 and third in retail mortgage lending as of June 2026. Customer experience metrics improved materially, with Net Promoter Score rising from 28% to 66.8% and Mystery Shopping scores from 66% to 80%.
