“Our division serving retail and microbusiness customers has come a long way over the past few years. We have unified the branch networks, digital channels and products inherited from the three predecessor banks, while significantly increasing our market shares in the retail segment,” said Zsolt Barna, chairman and CEO of MBH Bank.
“In the new strategic phase, an important objective is to raise the customer experience to a higher level. This will require the development of market-leading digital solutions and a stronger focus on artificial intelligence and automation,” he added.
Barna said Ákos was a dynamic executive with a proven track record in these areas who could contribute effectively to the success of the bank’s next strategic phase.
Ildikó Ginzer, who has led the standard sales division since the merger and achieved significant results in the retail segment with her team, will continue as a member of MBH Bank’s senior management and deputy CEO, assuming responsibility for other key professional areas.
