History[10]

Optima bank was founded on 31 July 2019 through the transfer of Investment Bank of Greece shares to Ireon Investments, a member of Motor Oil Group (Hellas). To strengthen its capital base and support its development strategy, Optima bank implemented a share capital increase in 2021 along with utilizing other financial instruments such as the issuance of a convertible bond loan in 2022.

On top, in October 2023 the bank successfully completed a new capital increase via an IPO on the Athens Exchange being oversubscribed and with the participation of cornerstone investors.
