17. November through the eyes of Slovenská sporiteľňa

Freedom is not just a concept from history. It is the foundation on which our society, our economy, and our daily lives are built. Thanks to freedom, we can study, travel, work, and do business without limitations. Freedom opens space for creativity, education, and prosperity.

Freedom in numbers

Freedom has brought new opportunities and a higher standard of living. The facts speak for themselves:

Slovakia’s economic performance has approached the EU average – from less than 50% to 80%.

Unemployment, which was around 18% at the start of the millennium, has dropped to historic lows below 6%.

Since 2004, nominal wages have risen by approximately 2.7 times.

Both life expectancy and the number of years in education continue to grow.

Slovenská sporiteľňa has believed in the same idea for 200 years—that prosperity starts where people have the freedom to create, do business, and grow.

Therefore:

More than 3,500 colleagues will have November 17th off and can freely enjoy their time.
Branches and company centers are closed.
Our services remain available: George, Business24, and Vesna are ready NONSTOP to help with everyday banking online. Our info line is also available.

A message from the CEO of Slovenská sporiteľňa

PETER KRUTIL, CEO OF SLOVENSKÁ SPORITEĽŇA

“I remember standing at SNP Square 36 years ago, jingling with keys in my hand and feeling relieved that change was coming and I didn’t have to leave Slovakia. Thanks to the Velvet Revolution, I could study economic theory, we could travel freely and gain experience. We were able to meet with relatives and friends we hadn’t seen for years. We wanted to make Slovakia a country worth living in. I think it was worth it.”
