We are aware that many Ukrainians have come to face a different situation in the course of a single night, which is why it is our duty to do everything in our power to help them. This way, we lead by example, and invite others to follow us. We are proud of our clients who help those in need by donating to charities such as the Red Cross, Slovenian Karitas, and others. The Bank will not charge any transaction fees on donations to these accounts, because we are convinced that this is one of the ways in which we can all act together in paving a road toward a more stable and safe future for them.”
