Ceskoslovenska obchodni banka, a. s. is a universal bank operating in the Czech Republic. CSOB was established by the state in 1964 as a bank to provide foreign trade financing and convertible currency operations. It was privatized in June 1999 when KBC Bank, a member of Belgium’s KBC group, became the majority owner. CSOB took over Investicni a Postovni banka, a.s. in June 2000. After the purchase of CSOB shares from minority shareholders in June 2007, KBC Bank became the sole shareholder of CSOB. CSOB had been active in both Czech and Slovak markets until 2007; the Slovak branch was separated as of 1 January 2008. CSOB is operating under two recognized brands in the Czech Republic – CSOB and Poštovní spořitelna (Postal Savings Bank – PSB). It provides its services to all groups of customers, i.e. retail as well as SME, corporate and institutional clients. Clients are served via CSOB branches, PSB’s Financial Centers and post offices of the Czech Post. In addition to its own products, CSOB is distributing products and services of the whole CSOB group. Services under the CSOB and PSB brands are also distributed through the entire CSOB group and through various direct banking channels.
