Zagrebačka Bank Maintains Consistent Growth

Solid profits and increased operational revenue mark a successful year for Croatia’s leading financial institution.

Zagrebačka banka (Zaba) has reported a robust net profit of €450 million for 2024, maintaining the same level as the previous year. The Croatian banking giant also saw operational revenue climb by 2.8%, reaching €809 million. Net interest income was a standout, reaching €588 million, while net fee and commission income rose to €174 million.

The bank’s total assets grew to €21.17 billion, while net loans increased by 6.2%, totalling €10.9 billion. Deposits also saw a rise, reaching €17.4 billion—up 2.5%, primarily driven by household savings.

Zaba’s parent group achieved a net profit of €556 million, reflecting a solid 9.2% increase, thanks to strong contributions from Zaba itself, UniCredit Banka Mostar, and UniCredit Leasing Croatia. This performance underscores the bank’s resilience in an evolving financial landscape, cementing its status as a major player in the region’s banking sector.

A testament to strategic growth and stability, Zaba’s financial results reflect both resilience and innovation in a challenging global environment.
