Scope
- There has been constant consolidation in the Croatian banking and payments market, with large banks and card issuers acquiring smaller competitors. Hrvatska postanska banka (HPB) acquired Jadranska banka (JABA) in April 2019. The cards of JABA customers were replaced with HPB cards. The move means HPB continues to strengthen its position in the Croatian banking space; it now boasts more than 600,000 customers and 58 outlets. In May 2019, OTP Bank announced the signing of an acquisition agreement for a majority stake in SKB Banka, the Slovenian subsidiary of Societe Generale Group. This acquisition will pave the way for OTP Bank to access new markets in the Central and Eastern European region. And in July 2018, Privredna banka Zagreb (PBZ) (part of Intesa Sanpaolo) acquired Veneto Banka. These moves will result in further concentration in the banking and card issuing spaces.
- American Express has a presence in Croatia through its association with PBZ. However, in 2018 American Express terminated its bank licensing agreements in the EU, including Croatia. As a result, all American Express cards issued by PBZ will be terminated after December 31, 2019. PBZ has selected Visa as its new partner, meaning all American Express cards will be replaced with Visa cards.
- Alternative payments are gaining momentum in Croatia, with banks and payment services providers launching new solutions. The latest of these is m-wallet, launched by Zagreba?ka banka (part of UniCredit Group) in February 2019, which allows the bank's customers to make contactless mobile payments. In December 2018, Erste Bank launched its mobile payment solution Keks Pay, enabling users to make P2P fund transfers to other Keks Pay users via the recipient's mobile phone number. Users can also make in-store payments by scanning a merchant's QR code. And in August 2018, Google launched its mobile payment solution Google Pay in Croatia, allowing users to make in-store, online, and in-app payments.
