Last week tbi bank has successfully raised EUR 60 million through a public MREL-eligible bond issue with a 3-year maturity, callable after 2 years.
The transaction attracted strong investor demand, exceeding the initial target range of EUR 30–40 million. The bank satisfied orders only at an interest rate of 7.0% and below (price guidance was 6.5–7.5%). All investors will receive a fixed annual coupon of 7.0%.
Earlier this year, the bank completed another MREL-eligible bond placement worth EUR 34 million. Both transactions were solely managed by tbi bank.
“We appreciate the strong interest from a wide range of investors and their continued trust in tbi. The newly raised bond will further support our continuous growth across all markets of operation – Bulgaria, Romania, and Greece,” said Lukas Tursa, Executive Director, tbi bank.
tbi bank has established itself as one of the most active bond issuers in SEE, with five public bond issues completed over the past two years. Only in 2025, the bank raised nearly EUR 100M from the domestic public market, providing investors with attractive and flexible instruments in terms of maturity and return. The new bond will be listed for trading on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange in the coming weeks, along with all other bond issues of the bank.
