Octobank Q1 2026 Results: Growth, New Solutions, and Social Initiatives
In the first quarter of 2026, Octobank significantly strengthened its market position. Amid asset growth, the bank expanded its range of business solutions, scaled up its social initiatives, and continued to develop its infrastructure. The bank is consistently developing a model in which financial products, digital services, and social responsibility form a unified system.
Financial results: growth and sustainability
Compared to the same period last year:
Assets increased to 15.5 trillion soums (+281.4%);
Equity capital increased to 1.13 trillion soums (+29.3%);
Net profit amounted to 108.7 billion soums , maintaining stable dynamics.
Octobank 's headcount increased by 45.8% to 465 employees , further driving the bank's growth.
Market positions and SME development
Octobank was ranked among the top three small banks in Uzbekistan by the Center for Economic Research and Analysis (CEIR), which evaluates financial institutions based on 27 key indicators, including liquidity, asset quality, and efficiency.
Supporting small and medium-sized businesses remains a priority. In the first quarter, the bank launched a line of loan products with interest rates starting from 21%:
— Octo-Auto
— Octo-Invest
— Octo-Revolution
Financial proposals enable entrepreneurs to address key challenges, from upgrading their vehicles to investing in fixed assets and replenishing working capital.
Additionally, clients now have access to a convenient tool for international payments: fast transfers from Russia via the Olmapay service, with same-day crediting.
Social initiatives: systemic support and charity
The social agenda remains an integral part of Octobank strategy and is implemented through specific projects.
In March, the bank acted as the general partner of the Navruz celebrations, creating a large-scale city event—"3 times tastier." The event brought together over 20,000 residents and visitors of the capital.
For International Women's Day, Octobank in partnership with the Tashkent Main Department of Internal Affairs, launched a beautiful campaign: 1,000 red roses were handed out to mothers, grandmothers, and women driving buses, on buses, and on sidewalks. Each received a dose of warmth and a reminder of the value and importance of every woman.
Special attention is paid to targeted assistance. As part of the media project "Interviews with Women Entrepreneurs," the bank provided support to the families of the participants for March 8th. Upon learning of the women's need for updated household appliances, the bank promptly provided them with the necessary equipment.
An important initiative that has already become a good tradition for the bank is supporting patients at the Scientific and Practical Medical Center for Pediatric Oncology, Hematology, and Immunology. During the holy days of Ramadan, the clinic received modern medical equipment. The next delivery is scheduled for May.
In parallel, work is being carried out under the "Mahalla Banker" project in the Shaikhantakhur district, providing residents with assistance with financial and employment issues. Systematic outreach to young people is also underway: OPERU staff conduct educational meetings and training sessions on professions and financial literacy as part of the "Youth Day" initiative, which takes place every Thursday of the month.
Network expansion and increased availability
Since the beginning of this year, Octobank has opened two new service points in Tashkent: one at FOOD MALL (6 Shakhrisabz Proezd) and one at the Chimgan Ecobazaar (3A Temur Malik Street). Selecting high-traffic locations has made banking services more accessible and convenient for clients in everyday urban settings.
Octobank ATMs have also been installed at the Islamic Civilization Center, one of the country's largest cultural and educational complexes. All essential transactions are available at the location: buying and selling currency, withdrawing cash, topping up cards, and handling international cards.
"We see the bank's role evolving from a service provider to a full-fledged partner. Our goal is not just to grow faster, but to systematically engage with every segment of society, understand their needs, and improve the quality of our services and product offerings. We create an environment in which clients can achieve their goals and support them along the way," noted Iskandar Tursunov, Chairman of the Board Octobank .
