"I am happy that for a third year in a row we win the high award National Champion and will be representing our country in the business innovations category. Our clients seek value added products that will fully meet their needs; they want a trusted partner in the face of their bank and we provide that. The international award is another proof that we are developing in the right direction. The fact that once again we are the only financial institution among the Bulgarian companies makes us proud with our achievement.
