Riga, Latvia – March 11, 2026 – Signet Bank Group, a leading financial services group in Latvia, announced record financial results for 2025, driven by growth in capital market financing, corporate lending, and investment solutions. The group, which includes Signet Bank, Signet Asset Management, Magnetiq Bank, Primero, and AgroCredit, is strategically focused on expanding its fintech offerings and solidifying its position in the Baltic financial sector.

Financial Highlights for 2025

According to the group’s consolidated audited annual report, total operating income reached €47 million in 2025, a 20% increase compared to 2024. The loan portfolio grew by 60%, reaching €335 million. Profit after taxes increased by 60% year-over-year, reaching €8.8 million. Client assets under management and administration (AUMA) totaled €1.7 billion.

Strategic Focus on Diversification and Growth

Signet Bank Group’s development is based on four key areas: capital market financing, corporate lending, investment solutions, and serving the fintech ecosystem. This integrated approach aims to build a comprehensive financial services platform.

Capital Market Leadership

Signet Bank achieved historically high results in capital market financing in 2025, organizing 22 bond issues for its clients, providing €359 million in financing – a 117% increase from 2024. The bank maintains its position as a leader in the Latvian bond market and in Nasdaq Riga bond trading [1].

Corporate Lending Expansion

The corporate lending segment experienced particularly rapid growth, with the portfolio increasing by 114% to €161 million. Signet Bank plans to continue this momentum, aiming to issue approximately €200 million in recent loans in 2026.

Magnetiq Bank and Fintech Innovation

Magnetiq Bank, formerly LPB Bank, is a key component of the group’s fintech strategy. The bank is focused on process automation, developing automated lending solutions, and strengthening its integration within the fintech ecosystem of Latvia and the European Union [1]. The rebranding to Magnetiq Bank in 2024 signaled a new phase of growth and development [3].

Investment Solutions and Asset Management

The group’s investment solutions, including deposits, brokerage services, investment consulting, and funds managed by Signet Asset Management, demonstrated stable growth. The Signet Baltic Bond Fund continues to be a key offering.

Separate Operations for Signet Bank and Magnetiq Bank

Signet Bank and Magnetiq Bank will continue to operate as separate entities, allowing each to leverage its distinct strengths and maximize potential. This decision follows Signet Bank’s successful growth trajectory after merging with Expobank in 2022 [3]. Signet Bank’s asset market share has increased from 1% in 2020 to 2.5% currently, with deposit growth from 0.9% to 2.3% and credit market share from 0.5% to 0.8%.

Sustainability and Financial Literacy

Signet Bank Group continues to prioritize sustainability, integrating sustainable principles into its business processes and promoting sustainable financial solutions. In 2025, the bank implemented 33 financial literacy initiatives, educating approximately 1,000 participants through programs like the “Capital Market Academy” and the creation of the first Latvian capital market activity barometer.

Looking Ahead

Signet Bank Group plans to continue its stable organic growth, focusing on capital market financing, corporate lending, expanding investment product offerings, and developing Magnetiq Bank’s fintech infrastructure in Europe. The group aims to create a diversified financial services platform and strengthen its long-term position in the Latvian financial sector [1].
