OTP Bank has become a favoured lender among Russian military personnel, offering them subsidised consumer loans. More alarmingly, it provides banking services to a number of companies directly linked to Russia's defence industry – including arms manufacturers, dual-use technology suppliers, and critical infrastructure contractors. Beyond conventional banking, OTP Bank plays a key role in a clandestine financing mechanism involving Hungarian agro-industrial and pharmaceutical firms. These companies, ostensibly trading in livestock, animal feed, and medicines, serve as financial intermediaries. Funds are routed from Russia under the guise of commercial transactions and are then partially returned to Russian entities through inflated contracts and false invoicing, or siphoned off into offshore accounts controlled by allies of Hungary's political leadership.
