In April, Komerční banka unveiled to the market its new banking proposition based on state-of-theart banking technologies and tools. KB’s new era of banking is simple, innovative, sustainable, and it combines digital tools and physical presence in a way that is convenient for the clients.
“The activities in the first quarter of 2023 were directed towards an important step in implementing the KB2025 transformation strategy: opening of a new digital bank for new customers and beginning the migration of clients from the legacy infrastructure. We passed this milestone in April, and we continue transforming Komerční banka Group to be a leader in the new era of banking with emphasis on the simple, innovative, and sustainable while combining digital tools and physical presence in a way that is convenient for clients,” remarked Jan Juchelka, KB’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer.
“The results from the first quarter,” he added, “were affected by subdued levels of confidence among consumers and businesses, as well as by stiff competition in the banking market. The overall results were nevertheless solid, the clients have shown very good discipline in repaying their credits, and we even observed signs of improving demand for housing and consumer loans, hopefully marking an improvement in people’s optimism.”
