CSOB offers its current and potential clients a superior standard and scope of financial services through 10 regional branches. They serve corporate clients in the largest cities of the Czech Republic and are supported by specialised divisions of CSOB’s headquarters in Prague. This proven model, supported by a fully individualised approach to clients, ensures that the demands of our clients are addressed readily, reliably and with utmost effectiveness. Each regional branch, when attending to corporate clients’ demands, offers usefully competent relationship managers, loan specialists, and commercial support employees. The key roles in this process are played by relationship managers, who are the fundamental points of contact between a client and the bank. Every client has his/her “own” relationship manager working entirely in accordance with client’s instructions. The manager provides clients with the most appropriate and optimal mix of services. Because CSOB wishes to be a true partner and advisor to its clients, however, relationship managers also actively providestrategic financial advisory. And this does not pertain merely to normal operational needs, but also concerns more sophisticated areas, such as consultation on company restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, and even tax-related affairs.
International clients
When addressing the needs of international companies, the relationship managers cooperate closely with a specialised department called International Corporate Desk, which is the first point of contact for foreign companies that need banking services in the Czech Republic. This department’s services are also used by Czech companies wishing to do business abroad. The bank supplies fundamental information about the relevant marketer and provides a contact to a representative office of KBC, its parent bank.
Specialised corporate financing
In the area of structured finance, all client divisions are supported by a very experienced team of experts who, in cooperation with the relationship managers and the client, identify the most suitable structure for the client’s more complicated financial needs. The offered solution always minimises risks and costs for the client. It is also fully in compliance with the latest market trends and shows a high degree of innovation. The breadth and comprehensiveness of the offer as well as the experience and high degree of professionalism of our specialised financing team constitute the key factors that differentiate CSOB Corporate and Institutional Banking from its competitors.
