“Last year was active for businesses in Lithuania – growth remained moderate, yet stable. Small and medium-sized enterprises continued to pursue expansion, while demand for financing became increasingly structured and focused on long-term value creation,” says Sarp Demiray, CEO of European Merchant Bank.

According to S. Demiray, the bank consistently invested in technological solutions, compliance systems, and team development in response to evolving market conditions. These investments represent a strategic step to strengthen the bank’s foundations, ensure sustainable growth, and further increase customer trust, as reflected in the stable level of deposits.

EMBank Chairman of the Board Ekmel Cilingir emphasizes that growth in today’s banking sector is inseparable from the ability to combine the highest security standards with a seamless customer experience and continuous innovation.

“We are consistently investing in technological solutions, process automation, and digitalization to provide our customers with even simpler, faster, and more reliable financial services. At the same time, we continue strengthening our compliance and risk management systems, as this enables us to ensure not only the highest level of security, but also sustainable growth and long-term value creation for our customers,” says E. Cilingir.

Going forward, the bank plans to maintain a strong focus on financing small and medium-sized enterprises, particularly companies investing in innovation, process automation, digitalization, and sustainability.

EMBank also plans to continue investing heavily in service security by further strengthening its compliance environment, enhancing anti-money-laundering monitoring systems, expanding compliance teams, improving governance standards, and continually developing its internal control framework.
