<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 />
