WE ARE HELPING TO PROMOTE AND SECURE PROSPERITY IN CEE MARKET

Because Erste sees its purpose as helping to promote and secure prosperity in its market, we are closely working together with the region’s governments, central banks and other stakeholders to implement the support programs as quickly and efficiently as possible

Securing liquidity was and remains a key concern for private clients, SMEs and corporates across our region

EBS is perhaps the closest to small and medium-sized enterprises, companies that are the very backbone of Serbian economy

Among all corporate segments, EBS stands out in renewables and specialized lending, where it has been a pioneer and serves as a market maker

Erste Bank Serbia has intensively promoted the use of digital services during the state of emergency as a good choice for safe and simple banking operations, and it will continue to do so. Among other things, EBS has enabled its clients to contract or activate electronic banking services or receive a new payment card without having to go to a branch. EBS’s mBanking and NetBanking were both used for filing requests for cash loans. As for corporate clients, these had already handled a lot of their business -- fast and safe payments and running daily business -- through electronic banking before the crisis. This trend has continued throughout the state of emergency.
