About GORENJSKA BANKA D.D., KRANJ

Gorenjska banka d.d., Kranj is a Slovenian commercial bank headquartered in Kranj, operating across the country with a branch footprint concentrated in the Gorenjska region and presence in larger urban areas. The bank provides standard retail and corporate services, including current and savings accounts, domestic and international payments, cards, consumer and housing loans, SME and corporate lending, guarantees, and basic cash management, complemented by online and mobile banking that comply with EU strong customer authentication and open-banking (PSD2) requirements. It is licensed and supervised by Banka Slovenije and operates within the euro area framework, participating in SEPA schemes, and deposits are protected by Slovenia’s statutory guarantee up to EUR 100,000 per depositor. Ownership is majority held by AIK Banka a.d. Beograd, part of the MK Group, following a takeover process completed in recent years that positioned Gorenjska banka within a cross-border banking group active in the Western Balkans; governance follows Slovenia’s two-tier system with a management board and supervisory board, and financial statements are prepared under IFRS. The business model is anchored in traditional intermediation with funding primarily from customer deposits and limited wholesale reliance; public disclosures indicate regulatory capital ratios above minimum requirements, and the bank reports adherence to liquidity and risk management standards applicable to less significant institutions in the Banking Union. Product range and pricing are broadly aligned with the Slovenian market, with mortgage and consumer lending subject to national macroprudential constraints, and digital channels cover routine account servicing, payments, and card controls. The bank’s competitive position is that of a mid-sized player in a market dominated by larger groups, implying advantages in local relationship banking and decision speed in its core region but constraints in scale, product breadth, and cross-border corporate capabilities. Strategic priorities reflect sector trends—digital migration, operating-cost discipline, and selective growth in retail and SMEs—while earnings remain sensitive to euro-area interest rate movements, credit quality in cyclical sectors, and tighter regulatory expectations on conduct and operational resilience; the bank is not broadly rated by major international credit rating agencies and provides investor materials primarily through its annual reports and regulatory filings.
