Mission

Mission our mission is to become a common and unified voice of commercial banks active in Slovakia. Via this voice we want to influence the legal and economic frame-work, in which banks carry out their commercial activities and provide clients with services. We represent a forum for our members, where they can cooperate on creating conditions for doing business in banking. We plan to reach it with correct partner relationships, mutual consultations and efficient dialogue conduct with market regulators and law givers.
