Since its market entry in 2021, the bank has integrated over 1.2 million previously unbanked individuals into the formal financial system. This rapid scaling, supported by a universal banking license, has solidified its position as the country’s leader in transaction volume and card issuance. The growth trajectory was further bolstered by a USD 350 million international bond issuance—the largest of its kind for a Paraguayan bank—alongside USD 171 million in new credit facilities.
Capital strength was reinforced by an USD 88 million increase to the base, including a USD 17 million injection from strategic shareholder OTP Bank Plc. International partnerships played a critical role in this expansion: the Development Bank of Austria (OeEB) provided its inaugural Paraguayan investment of USD 20 million to support women-led enterprises and sustainable finance, while the eco.business Fund matched that commitment to drive green economy projects. OTP Bank also deepened its stake in parent company U Holdings to USD 47 million, signaling continued confidence in the bank's role within Paraguay’s evolving economic landscape.
