Eurobank will open a representation office in Mumbai next month, CEO Fokion Karavias said at the Delphi Forum. The move expands the bank’s presence in India as part of its broader international growth strategy.

Pioneering Payment Innovation

The expansion includes enabling India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI) in Greece, making it the first European country to support remittance transfers via the system. The rollout is being implemented in partnership with NPCI International.

Strengthening Geopolitical And Financial Ties

The initiative coincides with a planned visit by the President of Cyprus to Mumbai. Karavias said the visit is expected to support further business announcements and deepen ties between Greece, Cyprus and India. Cyprus remains a key market in Eurobank’s regional strategy.

Balancing Growth And Risk

Eurobank’s strategy combines geographic and business diversification. The bank operates across Greece, Cyprus and Bulgaria, with revenue distributed at 50%, 35% and 15% respectively. Karavias said the structure supports stable performance across markets while managing exposure to regional risks.

Embracing Technological And Regulatory Change

Karavias said geopolitical volatility, energy pressures and cybersecurity risks continue to shape the operating environment. Alongside traditional liquidity and credit risks, banks are increasing focus on digital resilience. He pointed to Greece’s recovery from its financial crisis and ongoing technology upgrades at Eurobank’s Luxembourg subsidiary as examples of adaptation.

Looking Ahead

Eurobank’s strategy through 2028 focuses on expanding wealth management and insurance operations as part of its broader revenue diversification. Karavias said the bank will continue investing in technology and regulatory compliance to support growth across markets. The approach combines scaling new business lines with maintaining risk controls amid geopolitical and market volatility.

New “Think” Button For More Complex Questions

Alongside unlimited text chats, Free and Go users will gain access to a new “Think” button, allowing them to use additional reasoning power for more complex queries.

OpenAI noted that separate usage limits will continue to apply to file uploads, image generation, voice features and other multimodal tools.

Faster Responses For Paid Subscribers

The update also brings improvements for ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers. They will receive access to GPT-5.6 Sol, an upgraded model designed for everyday tasks such as web research, planning, writing, decision-making and answering questions. According to OpenAI, the model delivers shorter, more robust responses.

The company noted that this version is separate from the GPT-5.6 Sol model used in Codex and Work, which remains unchanged. Plus and Pro subscribers will also receive a new thinking slider, allowing them to adjust how much reasoning the model applies before generating an answer, depending on the complexity of the task.

OpenAI Reports Fewer Errors

According to OpenAI’s internal testing, GPT-5.6 Luna produces 62% fewer factual errors than GPT-5.5 Instant, while GPT-5.6 Sol reduces factual errors by 68%.

The updated GPT-5.6 Sol model is available to Plus and Pro users starting today. The remaining features for Free and Go users will roll out throughout the week, with unlimited text chats and the new Think button becoming available next week.
