History
Artea Bank was established in 1992.[2] The bank took over assets from Ūkio bankas totaling LTL2,7 billion in 2013, for which the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) granted the bank a loan of LTL69 million.[5][6]
As of 2018[update] the largest shareholder of the company was the EBRD, owing 26% of the company's stock after converting loans to the bank into shares.[2][7] In 2021, 18% of the Banks shares held by the EBRD were sold to Invalda INVL, Nord Security and ME investija.[8]
The bank merged Invalda INVL and its retail business in 2023, creating a new company headed by the former INVL Investment Management director.[9][10]
Since 1994 (in Secondary List) and since 2006 (in Main List), the company is listed in Nasdaq Vilnius.[2] In 2022, the bank reported a profit of over €63 million and a loan portfolio of €2.6 billion.[11]
On May 7, 2025, the general shareholders' meeting decided to change the name to Artea.[12]
