As a universal banking group, our Bank today operates around 210 branches all over the country, offering clients the full range of financial services. KBC Bank and Insurance had successfully introduced its unique bank-insurance concept on the Belgian market; and it now treats this concept as strategically important at the Central European affiliates it considers its second home markets as well, paying special attention to the coordination of the operations of its Hungarian affiliates (K&H Bank and K&H Insurance). The aim of the above goes beyond achieving higher operational efficiency by taking advantage of cross-selling opportunities: the main goal for both K&H Bank and K&H Insurance is to offer clients a comprehensive range of easily available products by selling the products and services of each other.
