Banca Intesa once again received recognition from The Banker magazine
Banca Intesa, a member of the international banking group Intesa Sanpaolo, won the recognition of the world financial magazine The Banker as the bank of the year in Serbia in 2023.
The award was given based on several quantitative business indicators, including the amount of capital and assets, profitability and the level of non-performing loans, but also qualitative indicators such as strategic initiatives, investments in technology development and the development of new products and services.
“We see the recognition of The Banker magazine as one of the most relevant and prestigious references in the world’s financial circles as a confirmation that our business successes, the dedication of our employees and the trust of our clients are also recognised in expert international circles. In an environment where technological development and sustainability issues are constantly changing the banking industry, and economic challenges and market competition further complicate the business environment, we continued the trend of exceptional business results from the previous year and confirmed the leading market position, further strengthening the support we provide to clients. Digitisation, sustainable financing and the development of young talents, while preserving the quality of the offer and portfolio, will remain the key pillars of our strategy in the coming year to ensure the sustainability of our development, and provide the economy and citizens of Serbia with adequate support and a flawless user experience,” said the president of the Executive Board Banca Intesa Darko Popović.
Leading the list of the most successful banks on the market for more than 15 years, Banca Intesa serves 1.4 million clients, individuals, and legal entities, to whom it provides modern products, the highest quality service and an optimal combination of a developed business network and digital services. In addition to the award for Bank of the Year in Serbia by The Banker magazine, the tenth that it has received so far, Banca Intesa this year also received awards for the best bank on the domestic market, awarded by the world financial magazines Euromoney and Global Finance.
