Comment by Margus Rink, Chairman of the Management Board of Coop Pank:

"Coop Pank continued to grow its business volumes and showed a decent profit and efficiency: in April we earned a net profit of 1.5 million euros, the return on equity increased above 15% and the cost-income ratio approached 50% level. The increasing efficiency of the bank makes us even more attractive to investors.

The strong growth is driven from the trust of our customers and our flexibility: as a domestic bank, we react quickly to changes in the market and take local conditions into account. We see that from month to month more and more private customers and entrepreneurs are finding their way to us. It can also be seen that customers activity in using our everyday banking services is increasing. We consider active clients to be customers who make at least four transactions in two months.”
