Expert advice for Cross Border Business at our International Desks

When you choose an international banking partner, you rightly ask important questions.

Will the bank be able to offer a seamless service across Central and Eastern Europe? Are the appropriate products and services in place or will this relationship fit my requirements in the long term?

Erste Group, in cooperation with Austrian Savings Banks, active in ten Central and Eastern European countries, is such a partner.

For this purpose, we have established a group-wide network of International Desks, as an information and support centre intended exclusively for corporate businesses working across borders.

In each country, the International Desk is a first point of contact equipped with all the information you require, including both internal and external contacts.

Successful international trade is all about competence and strong relationships – and that is precisely what you will find at the International Desk of Erste Bank.
