… it aims to double its market share in Greece...

Credia’s strategy for the next five years centres around doubling its market share in

Greece, where the focus is SME lending with a potential purchase of up to €1bn of Re-

Performing Loans. Credia posted ~11% share of net credit expansion in 2025, and its SME

market share increased by ~50bps to 5% in 1H25. The bank’s time-to-money, two thirds

faster than peers, is part of its USP.
