Alpha Services and Holdings SA
Alpha Services and Holdings SA is the holding company for Alpha Bank, one of Greece’s large banking groups. The group makes money mainly from banking services such as loans, deposits, payment services, cards, and other everyday financial products for households, small businesses, and larger companies. Its role is to collect customer savings, lend that money out, and earn income from interest and fees. Its main customers are people who need a bank for personal finance, as well as companies that need funding, cash management, trade finance, and payment processing. The company sits in the middle of the financial system: it does not usually make products itself, but it helps move money, extend credit, and support business activity through its bank subsidiary. What makes this business model different is that it depends on trust, regulation, and balance-sheet management rather than physical products. The company earns from the spread between what it pays depositors and what it charges borrowers, plus fees for services. That gives it a stable, bank-like role in the economy, with results tied to credit demand, deposit funding, and the quality of its loan portfolio.

Profitability: Alpha Bank said first-half profits were close to EUR 0.5 billion on a normalized basis, up 6.5% year on year, and it raised full-year normalized EPS guidance to EUR 0.41.
Guidance: Reported full-year profit guidance was reiterated at EUR 950 million, even as management said underlying earnings are tracking better than expected.
Growth: Loan growth, fee income, and customer funds all strengthened in the first half, with performing loans up double digits and customer funds up 7% in the quarter.
Capital: The bank kept its capital position solid, with CET1 at 14.3%, and said it had accrued EUR 272 million toward distributions, including a planned EUR 124 million interim cash dividend.
Strategy: Management emphasized a broader wholesale transformation, pointing to stronger transaction banking, a growing investment banking franchise through AXIA, and deeper cooperation with UniCredit as key future earnings drivers.
Costs & risk: Costs were higher, but management said the full-year cost guidance of EUR 960 million is still firm. Asset quality stayed benign, with cost of risk at 42 basis points in the first half and 45 basis points still expected for the year.
