Sustainability as part of financing
Sustainability and environmental protection are permanent pillars of VÚB Bank's strategy. Thanks to a special fund established by the parent company, Intesa Sanpaolo, VÚB Bank's corporate clients can receive an interest rate discount by committing to specific ESG conditions through the S-LOAN.
S-LOAN is a specialized financing solution that combines a loan with a company's specific sustainability commitments. It is intended to implement goals aimed at improving the company's ESG profile, while the fulfillment of these goals is rewarded with a preferential interest rate.
