About Všeobecná úverová banka, a.s.

Všeobecná úverová banka, a.s. (VÚB Banka) is a universal bank in Slovakia, headquartered in Bratislava and majority owned by the Intesa Sanpaolo Group. Founded in 1990, it provides services to retail, SME, and corporate clients, with activities that include everyday banking, lending, payments, investment distribution, leasing, and factoring. The product set covers current and savings accounts, term deposits, debit and credit cards, consumer loans, mortgages, business loans and financing lines, trade finance, cash management, merchant acquiring, and international transfers. Distribution is through a nationwide branch and ATM network, online and mobile banking, and a contact center; digital channels apply strong customer authentication under PSD2, and the bank offers open-banking APIs for licensed third parties. VÚB operates under the supervision of the Národná banka Slovenska, and eligible deposits are protected by the Slovak Deposit Protection Fund up to EUR 100,000 per depositor per bank in line with EU rules. Euro payments are processed via SEPA; foreign currency transfers are available subject to fees and exchange rates. Pricing is defined in the public tariff and varies by account package, transaction type, and customer segment, while loan terms depend on credit assessment, collateral, and market conditions. Typical considerations include monthly account and card fees, ATM charges, possible limits on instant transfers, early repayment costs within legal caps, and foreign exchange spreads. Account opening is available in branches and, for eligible clients, through remote identification.
