The magazine Global Finance has declared Privredna banka Zagreb, a member of the Intesa Sanpaolo Group, the best bank in Croatia (The Best Bank in Croatia) for the second consecutive year.

Global Finance has announced its annual awards for the world’s best banks – World’s Best Banks 2022 for the 29th time.

This year’s award winners are those banks that have carefully monitored the needs of their clients in demanding markets and achieved strong results while laying the groundwork for future success.

– In these challenging times, when we have been operating under very difficult conditions for the past two pandemic years, and now with the increased global uncertainty and turmoil due to the war in Ukraine, this award from Global Finance is not only a confirmation of business excellence but also encourages us to continue being the best possible support and a strong pillar for our clients, for whom we constantly strive to improve. I would also like to thank all the employees of the PBZ group for their dedication and contribution to achieving successful results – stated Dinko Lucić, CEO, upon the announcement of PBZ as the best bank in Croatia.

The objective criteria considered included: asset growth, profitability, geographic reach, strategic relationships, new business development, and product innovations. Subjective criteria included opinions from capital market analysts, credit rating analysts, banking consultants, and others involved in this industry.
