A great relief for customers of Sberbank - Hrvatska poštanska banka is to take over Sberbank. Customer assets are secure again, and agreed terms and conditions remain unchanged. The bank will reopen branches for customers on Wednesday 2 March at 12:00 PM and resume regular operations as part of HPB Group.

“We have swiftly reacted and enabled our citizens to freely manage their assets. At the same time, the acquisition of Sberbank strengthens the future market position of HPB, which is also excellent news for our employees and shareholders.

As of today, our new customers can continue to use all financial services regularly without restrictions, and I congratulate everyone for their best efforts in resolving the situation promptly”, said President of the Management Board, Marko Badurina.

HPB is one of the leading banks in Croatia, and in 2021 it achieved the best results in its 30 year history with a record net profit in the amount of HRK 202 million.

As one of the most accessible banks in Croatia, it especially takes into account small remote communities where banking services are not available. In addition to its network of branches, the Bank provides services through the network of 1,000 branches of Hrvatska pošta (Croatian Post).

The Bank is one of the industry leaders in innovation and digitalization and has been the most active bank in the APN programme of housing - loan subsidies.
