<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2008</strong><br />
Branch Network<br />
The year <strong>2008</strong> saw a significant expansion of<br />
<strong>ProCredit</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>’s branch network. Our priority<br />
was to make it easier for people outside of the<br />
major population centres to access our services,<br />
and we established five new offices in smaller<br />
cities and towns: in Bosanska Gradiška in northern<br />
Bosnia, in Bosanski Šamac in north-eastern<br />
Bosnia, in Livno in western Bosnia, in Bugojno in<br />
central Bosnia, and in Ljubuški in western Herzegovina.<br />
At year-end, <strong>ProCredit</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> was operating<br />
a total of 44 offices in 33 towns and cities.<br />
The increased outreach not only enabled us serve<br />
a larger client base, but also made the full range<br />
of our services available to numerous clients who<br />
had not previously had access to fully-fledged<br />
<strong>ProCredit</strong> branches.<br />
The activities of six information centres in the<br />
Bosanska Krajina region of north-western Bosnia<br />
were consolidated and upgraded, with the bank<br />
creating two new units – one in Bosanska Krupa<br />
and one in Velika Kladuša. Clients in these areas<br />
can now access the full range of <strong>ProCredit</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>’s<br />
services closer to home.<br />
<strong>ProCredit</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> also moved a number of its existing<br />
offices to new, larger premises in more accessible<br />
and visible locations. The most noteworthy<br />
projects of this type were the relocation of units<br />
in Mostar, Zenica and Travnik. We also renovated,<br />
expanded and upgraded a number of our existing<br />
premises over the course of the year. Apart from<br />
providing a more attractive environment for our<br />
customers, the goal here was to ensure that these<br />
older offices conform to the <strong>ProCredit</strong> group’s<br />
current corporate design standards in terms of<br />
their layout and overall appearance.<br />
