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.

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.
