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. K&H Bank branches started selling home insurances of K&H General Insurance in November 2000 and the Insurance Company first started to sell K&H home and personal loans in July 2001. Somewhat later, the products of K&H Life Insurance were added, followed by K&H pension insurances in 2014, including both the single-premium and the regular-premium varieties, which allow our clients to maintain the standard of living they are accustomed to even after their retirement. We provide our clients with personalised investment advice appropriate to their individual life situations and needs by relying on the knowledge and experience of K&H Bank advisors. We offer our clients a full range of savings and investment products: our savings accounts, investment funds and savings life insurance products can be combined into diversified portfolios allowing our clients to optimise the yields from their savings.
