Oberbank plans to open two new branches in the Czech Republic. The Austrian bank’s CEO for the Czech Republic, Robert Pokorný, told e15 that the savings and loan volumes have increased over the past four years. The bank’s profit jumped 10 percent y-o-y to €122.4m in 2013, with loans growing by 4.2 percent to €11.7bn, and savings up 5.7 percent to €22.8bn y-o-y.
