We aim for excellence and we consistently strive to be easy to deal with. These commitments will allow us to create sustainable value for our shareholders. Times change, but commitments do not. We emerged from 2009 with a renewed sense of purpose and direction. What was important to us before is even more important today. Namely, our customers. Accordingly, we developed a new mission statement in 2009 to reinforce those principles and practices that we believe to be drivers of greater customer centricity.

This is what we call real-life banking. It means providing our clients with more than just financial services by giving them the right support at the right time and in the right way. It is about looking our customers in the eye, working closely with them to assess their real-life needs, and then using our expertise to deliver effective solutions through smooth and easy interactions.
