Leading the way: Wallester among the top 3 Estonian payment institutions in 2022

The recently published Yearbook 2022, issued by Estonia’s financial regulatory body, Finantsinspektsioon, has revealed that Wallester, the innovative payment institution, has secured a prominent position within the financial landscape.

A Trusted Partner in Estonia’s Financial Landscape

In 2022, Wallester processed an impressive 10% of Estonia’s 10.2 million payments, totalling a value of 674 million euros. This remarkable achievement has contributed to double-digit annual revenue growth, propelling Wallester to claim the third spot among Estonia’s top payment institutions.

The Challenges Faced by the Financial Market in Estonia

In 2022, Estonia’s financial market experienced a rise in inflation, increased interest rates, and a decline in securities markets. These factors contributed to a higher cost of living and a boost in the real estate market. Consequently, banks and service providers experienced a surge in credit and loan portfolios while deposits slowed down.

However, the higher interest rate encouraged an increase in term deposits. The financial services data changed as follows: life insurance premiums fell from 2% in 2021 to -9% in 2022; banks’ loan portfolio increased from 9% in 2021 to 12% in 2022; term and savings deposits rose from -7% in 2021 to +48% in 2022.
