BEKB ⎼ more than just a financial service provider

Presence, trust and professionalism are important factors, particularly when setting up a business and getting it off the ground. As a bank, we not only act as a financial service provider, but as an all-round trusted and professional partner. We know the risk and success factors when it comes to setting up and running a business, and are on hand to provide businesses with professional advice throughout the entire lifecycle as part of our BEKB focus@kmu concept.
