Romania, with over 3 million clients and a customer base growth of 39% in the last 12 months, is the region's leader and keeps the second position in the global ranking after the UK.

Poland also recorded a strong growth of 48%, heading to the 3 million customers threshold. Hungary (1 million retail customers), Bulgaria (670,000 retail customers) and Czechia (over 600,000 retail customers) complete the top 5.
