Raiffeisenbank has shown remarkable performance in the Czech Republic, specifically in the arena of banking for large corporates, demonstrating impressive growth and innovation over the review period.
This can be seen in the substantial increase in structured and syndicated transactions – a notable 10% increase from the prior year.
There has been a significant uptick in the volume of purchased receivables in the corporate segment, rising by 33%, and the volume of bank guarantees also saw a robust increase of 14% year-on-year, underlining the bank’s expanding influence and trust among large corporate clients.
In the realm of digital innovation, Raiffeisenbank has strategically enhanced client interactions and processing efficiency through its digital app, FinOn. In 2024, this platform enabled 70% of bank guarantee processes and 92% of requests for standard loan drawdowns to be executed digitally, highlighting a significant shift towards tech-driven banking solutions that cater to the dynamic needs of large corporations.
Additionally, the bank’s focus on sustainable banking practices is commendable
The integration of a tailor-made Premium API with client enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, notably tested with SAP, further signifies Raiffeisenbank’s commitment to seamless, technology-enhanced services that are customised to corporate operational requirements.
Additionally, the bank’s focus on sustainable banking practices is commendable, with green assets now constituting 20% of the corporate loan portfolio. This strategic direction is supported by a dedicated ESG team, ensuring that sustainable practices are embedded within core business operations and client offerings, providing free sustainability advisory to clients. These concerted efforts illustrate why Raiffeisenbank stands out as a leader in serving large corporates in the Czech Republic.
