Proximity creates trust, credibility and acceptance – whether real or virtual. The commitment of the Savings Banks and their local association partners strengthens social coexistence. With the help of the numerous foundations, projects are created that have a major impact thanks to their local roots.
At the same time, the Savings Banks Finance Group is driving digitalisation in the financial sector by participating in the European Payments Initiative (EPI). The launch of the Wero wallet app offers customers a comprehensive European payment solution. This underlines the Savings Banks' commitment to be digitally close to people – and at the same time to strengthen monetary policy control options at European level.
