Nova KBM

What Nova KBM does

Nova KBM, rebranded and now operating as OTP banka d.d. following its acquisition by Hungary's OTP Group, is a universal Slovenian bank and the controlling entity of OTP Skupina Slovenija. The group comprises four entities: the bank (OTP banka d.d.), a factoring subsidiary (OTP faktoring d.o.o.), and two leasing subsidiaries (SKB Leasing d.o.o. and SKB Leasing Select d.o.o., the latter the exclusive Slovenian carrier of Peugeot, Citroën, and DS Finance). The bank claims the largest branch network in Slovenia ("največ bančnih točk"), operates digital channels Bank@Net (web) and mBank@Net (mobile), and serves retail consumers, sole proprietors/SMEs, large corporates and the public sector, and an investor/wealth segment through Individual Investment Accounts (INR) and mutual fund distribution.

The product portfolio spans transaction account packages (Paket Komplet, Paket Ekstra, Net račun, Osebni Plus, Paketi za mlade), lending (Kredit Naprej cash loans, Stanovanjski krediti housing loans, sustainable financing), card products (Visa debit, deferred-payment and prepaid cards), savings and investments (Trojni Plus, INR, mutual funds from Sava Infond, Triglav Investments, RCM, Amundi, Moorea, BNP Paribas, and OTP skladi), insurance (Sava, Generali, Triglav, Groupama), and Premium/Private Banking with LoungeKey airport lounge access. Underlying technology centers on a multi-channel digital banking platform with web and mobile front-ends, mobile token and push notification authentication (first in the Slovenian market), Apple Pay, Google Wallet, and Garmin Pay, with accessibility compliance to WCAG 2.1 Level AA and EN 301 549 v3.2.1.

The revenue model is anchored in retail and corporate net interest income (lending products), recurring account/package fees (monthly subscription billing), transaction and card interchange fees, and distribution commissions from investment funds, insurance, and intra-group leasing and factoring. Reported FY2024 net profit of €311M and 18% ROE reflect post-merger profitability, with additional capital raised via a €300M bond listed on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange. Customer acquisition runs through the branch and postal partner network, digital self-serve onboarding (account opening in 1 minute via mBank@Net for users aged 15+), sports sponsorships (NK Maribor, RK Celje, Slovenian Olympic Committee 2024-2028), and a referral program ("Pripelji prijatelja").
