This step marks an important milestone in the consolidation of leasing operations within the NLB Group in Slovenia. The next key step is scheduled for early July, when NLB Lease&Go and Summit Leasing Slovenija are expected to merge under the name NLB Lease&Go.

On September 11, 2024, NLB successfully completed the transaction and became the sole shareholder of SLS HOLDCO, holdinška družba, d.o.o., the parent company of Summit Leasing Slovenija d.o.o., and its Croatian subsidiary Mobil Leasing d.o.o. NLB has thus become the leading provider of leasing services on Slovenian market. Furthermore, after almost three decades, it has also once again entered the market of Croatia.

Since 2020, with the establishment of NLB Lease&Go, NLB Group has been gradually expanding leasing activities – first with two new leasing companies established in 2022 in North Macedonia and Serbia, and then with the acquisition of SLS HOLDCO and its subsidiaries.

Leasing services offered by the NLB Group members complement the bank’s lending services and enable retail and corporate clients to choose the option that best addresses their needs, situation, and preference. The vison of the Group is for leasing to become a significant part of the Group. It was planned that in its mature phase by 2030, it would contribute up to 3 billion to the total assets of the Group.

NLB Lease&Go and Summit Leasing Slovenija will continue working as separate companies until the merger; while Mobil Leasing will continue to operate as a separate company on the Croatian market. There will therefore be no changes to clients’ regular business operations. During the merger, we will ensure that the process runs as smoothly as possible, ensuring a smooth transition and maintaining operational efficiency, focusing on customers and their needs, as well as employees and the dealer network.
