Raiffeisen Banka — Slovenia (Raiffeisen Group-tilstedeværelse og tjenester)

Overview and brief history

Raiffeisen-branded banking in Central and Eastern Europe traces its roots to the Raiffeisen cooperative movement of the 19th century and, in modern form, to Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI), an Austrian-based banking group active across the region. After the political and economic changes in Central and Eastern Europe in the 1990s, the Raiffeisen group expanded into many markets, including Slovenia, either by establishing local subsidiaries or by operating through locally branded affiliates.

In Slovenia, Raiffeisen group activities are present through local subsidiaries and affiliated companies that provide retail, corporate and specialized financial services. Some of these operations are carried out under local brands that are part of the RBI group structure. The Raiffeisen/ Raffeisen-branded network in Slovenia benefits from the group’s central European footprint and experience in retail and corporate banking.
