About OTP Jelzálogbank zártkörûen mûködõ Rt.

OTP Jelzálogbank zártkörûen mûködõ Rt. (OTP Jelzálogbank Zrt.) is the specialized mortgage bank of OTP Bank Group in Hungary, operating as a private company limited by shares and supervised by the Magyar Nemzeti Bank. It functions under Hungarian and EU rules for mortgage credit institutions and covered bonds, including the Act on Mortgage Credit Institutions and Mortgage Bonds and the transposed EU Covered Bond Directive. The bank’s core role is to provide long-term funding for housing finance by originating and refinancing residential mortgage loans—primarily sourced through OTP Bank’s distribution network—and by issuing mortgage bonds to fund these assets. It maintains and manages the statutory cover pool, performs asset-liability matching and coverage tests, and publishes offering documentation for its bond programs; covered bonds are typically offered to domestic and, when applicable, international investors. As a specialist lender, it does not operate as a universal bank; day-to-day customer interfacing for loan origination and servicing is largely handled through OTP Bank channels. Financial statements are prepared under applicable Hungarian and IFRS frameworks within the OTP Group reporting environment, and public disclosures include annual reports and bond prospectuses. Borrowers face standard Hungarian market features such as LTV and debt service limits set by the central bank, valuation requirements, fixed or variable interest structures, and contractual early repayment terms. Investors in its mortgage bonds rely on the legally ring-fenced cover pool, regulatory oversight, and overcollateralization requirements, while remaining exposed to the performance of the underlying assets and market conditions.
