More advantageous accounts also for sole traders and entrepreneurs as offered by UniCredit Bank

As at the first October week, UniCredit Bank is coming with a new offer of accounts for sole traders and entrepreneurs with their turnover to 50 million crowns. In addition to significantly cut-price services related to the account maintaining, the offer is also enriched by bank accounts maintained in foreign currencies and the simplification and lower prices of foreign currency deposits and withdrawals. The account for the most demanding clients will also include a prestigious MasterCard or VISA GOLD Business payment card. UniCredit Bank intends to support even more new entrepreneurs and companies that can also newly obtain an overdraft up to 150 thousand crowns and enjoy the account maintaining for free.

UniCredit Bank has been striving to accommodate sole traders and entrepreneurs for a long time. As from 1 October its offer of business accounts will be significantly changed and will also include a possibility of maintaining an account for free.

 Clients having business partners in Slovakia have already experienced significant savings. Incoming payments from Slovakia have been without any fees since mid-April of this year, for outgoing payments clients pay 30 crowns. A usual price for Euro payments is about CZK 200. Fees for account maintaining have also been considerably changed. For example Business konto GOLD is now by CZK 300 cheaper.

 “Free accounts for individuals are being used by dozens of thousands of new clients in our Bank. Now it is turn of sole traders and entrepreneurs for whom we have really considerably decreased fees or even cancelled them and extended services by payment cards of the highest level, i.e. MASTERCARD or VISA GOLD Business,” said Giovanni Guidi, director of the Retail Banking Division UniCredit Bank.

 In addition to lower prices, foreign currency withdrawals and deposits are also simpler. While older Business accounts were charged by a fee of 1% of the amount with a minimum fee determined, the present accounts START, ACTIVE, MASTER, GOLD and PROFESE Plus are charged only by a single fee of CZK 30 for deposits and CZK 55 for withdrawals made by the account holder or authorized persons. UniCredit Bank has also extended a portfolio of offered services by a possibility of free maintaining of up five foreign currency accounts for clients who often trade in Euros.

 The account maintaining for free is a quite new offer and it will be provided to active clients who will fulfil conditions in the form of an average account balance or a credit turnover specified for the particular type of an account.
