What AikGroup does

AikGroup (CY) Limited, previously known as Agri Europe Cyprus, is a privately held financial services holding company incorporated in Cyprus with operating headquarters in Agios Athanasios. It controls a portfolio of wholly-owned banking, leasing, and capital markets subsidiaries across Serbia (AikBank ad Belgrade, AikLeasing doo Belgrade, M&V Investments), Montenegro (Hipotekarna Banka), and Slovenia (Gorenjska Banka, GB Leasing). AikBank ad Belgrade operates as a leading systemic bank in Serbia with more than 110 branches, over 500 ATMs, and over 2,200 employees across 56 cities, while M&V Investments, founded in 1995, has held the highest turnover in share trading on the Belgrade Stock Exchange for 15 consecutive years since 2005.

The group operates a platform-plus-subsidiaries architecture built on a digital banking and financial services platform combined with extensive physical branch and ATM infrastructure. Service delivery spans retail and corporate banking, vehicle and equipment leasing (AikLeasing launched in March 2024 and the longer-tenured GB Leasing in Slovenia), and brokerage and investment services through M&V Investments. The combined entity reports over EUR 10 billion in total assets, approximately EUR 6.1 billion in net loans, EUR 7.4 billion in customer deposits, and a capital base exceeding EUR 1.3 billion, supporting lending, deposit-taking, and fee-generating activities across three SEE jurisdictions.

AikGroup serves individuals, entrepreneurs, SMEs, corporations, and public entities through a hybrid go-to-market model combining a multi-channel physical distribution network with digital banking channels. Revenue is generated primarily through traditional banking activities — interest income on the EUR 6.1 billion loan portfolio, deposit-related fees, leasing income, and brokerage commissions. Group scale exceeds 3,000 employees, and recent strategic activity (the March 2024 launch of AikLeasing and the May 2026 acquisition of Podravska banka in Slovenia) signals continued regional consolidation rather than capital-markets activity, consistent with a privately financed, acquisition-led growth strategy.
