List of banks in Lithuania


The following list of banks in Lithuania is to be understood within the framework of the European single market and European banking union, which means that Lithuania's banking system is more open to cross-border banking operations than peers outside of the EU.

Policy framework

European banking supervision distinguishes between significant institutions and less significant institutions, with SI/LSI designations updated regularly by the European Central Bank. Significant institutions are directly supervised by the ECB using joint supervisory teams that involve the national competent authorities of individual participating countries. Less significant institutions are supervised by the relevant NCA on a day-to-day basis, under the supervisory oversight of the ECB. In Lithuania's case, the NCA is the Bank of Lithuania.

Significant institutions

As of, the ECB had three Lithuanian banking groups in its list of significant institutions:
Swedbank operates in Lithuania via a branch of its Latvian subsidiary Swedbank Baltics AS. A study published in 2024 assessed that Swedbank was the bank with most aggregate assets in Lithuania, with €18.5 billion as of end-2023, followed by SEB, Revolut, and Šiaulių. Additional branches include Danske Bank Lithuania and the Lithuanian branch of Luminor Bank. Aside from Riga-based Swedbank Baltics AS, no other SIs based in the euro area have subsidiaries in Lithuania.

Less significant institutions

As of, the ECB's list of supervised institutions included 16 Lithuanian LSIs:
Of these, only Lietuvos Centrinė Kredito Unija was designated by the ECB as "high-impact" on the basis of several criteria including size.
As of October 2025, there were no branches of banks located outside the European Economic Area in Lithuania, based on data compiled by the European Banking Authority.

Credit unions

Lithuania is one of six euro-area countries with credit unions, together with Croatia, Estonia, Ireland, Latvia, and the Netherlands. whereas the Centrinė Kredito Unija is designated as LSI, the other Lithuanian credit unions are outside the scope of the EU Capital Requirements Directives, and thus regulated and supervised under national law. At end-2023, there were 59 such Lithuanian credit unions, with total assets of ca. €1.43 billion.

Other credit institutions

The Bank of Lithuania and are public credit institutions that do not hold a banking license under EU law.
