“Opening a branch in Frankfurt, Germany, is the Bank’s first step into a western market. After recently obtaining an investment rating from the international agency Moody’s, this is another crucial milestone in our strategy,” comments Štěpán Ašer, CEO of J&T BANKA, on the opening of the new branch, adding: “Since 2014, we’ve been offering deposit products in the German market through online comparison platforms. Opening our own branch and the accompanying direct communication with our clients enable us to develop further on the German market and also create opportunity in the future to offer investment products and services.”
