Comment by Margus Rink, Chairman of the Management Board of Coop Pank:

"In August, Coop Pank's revenues showed growth and operating costs remained under control. As a result, the bank achieved a record monthly profit, which was 2 million euros, and a very good return on equity of 19.7% and a cost-income ratio of 47.1%.

Demand for loans remains at a good level both in the market and in us, while the volumes of deposits show a slight downtrend. In this situation, the winners are the depositors. Coop Pank is the only universal bank in Estonia, that pays to its customers interest both on demand and on term deposits.

Besides loans and deposits, our main goal is to provide convenient everyday banking services. Thanks to our wide customer office network and the cash network created through Coop stores, we can do this close to people's homes. Our consistently strong financial results confirm that this strategy is working well."
