The latter have demonstrated excellent turnover and profitability figures, which reflect very well the increasing competition for traditional financial service providers.

So far, all biomethane used in Lithuania has been imported from foreign countries through international certificates and not produced in Lithuania. However, the situation is set to change dramatically in the coming years, with one of the first biomethane gas production plants due to be built near Panevėžys, in Šilagalys near the Via Baltica motorway, by 2023. The biomethane will be safely produced from biodegradable waste from the local agricultural company Šilagalis - animal manure and agricultural and other organic waste. The construction of the plant and the improvement of the infrastructure is planned to cost EUR 4 million.

Although bank transfers in the Single Euro Payments Area, or SEPA, take the same amount of time regardless of the country where the account is issued, some companies don't want to go through the extra trouble and refuse to serve customers from other countries entirely. So fintech company Bankera, together with several other fintech companies operating in the EU, has joined an international initiative to fight IBAN discrimination.
