Paavo Truu, Member of the Management Board and Chief Financial Officer of Coop Pank, comments the results:

"Taking into account the general economic environment, the loan portfolio of Coop Pank decreased at a good pace in the third quarter, and the past due loan portfolio continued to remain at the lowest level in the past years.

In the market, competition for customer deposits continued in the third quarter. We saw that more and more of the funds of Coop Pank's customers moved from demand deposits to term deposits. This does not affect the bank's strong liquidity position. While in the first half of the year, all the banks mainly competed for term deposits, in the third quarter the competition for demand deposits also increased, which will probably intensify even more in the coming months. Coop Pank has always paid considerable interest on demand deposits of both private and business customers and will continue to pay it in the future.

Attractive deposit offers have brought a lot of new customers to the Coop Pank, some of whom have come to make only term deposits and not settlement transactions, therefore we saw only the average growth of the number of active customers in the third quarter. We are working to ensure that fixed-term depositors also start using Coop Pank's everyday banking services.

Due to the growth of business volumes and keeping costs under control, Coop Pank's performance indicators have improved from quarter to quarter. In the third quarter, it resulted with a record quarterly profit of 11.1 million euros and a cost-income ratio of 40% and a return on equity of 25.9%.”
