For the past years, our cooperation has been driven by a common goal to develop the market of investment opportunities and financial solutions and the best way to respond to customer needs. We remain focused in our efforts to create opportunities for growth and personalized banking services," said Tzvetanka Mintcheva, CEO of UniCredit Bulbank.

"The exclusive partnership of Allianz Bulgaria with one of the largest financial institutions in the country - UniCredit Bulbank - is a confirmation of our successful strategy. The partnership is a unique opportunity for UniCredit Bulbank customers to receive innovative and reliable insurance and investment solutions tailored to their preferences. Allianz's mission is to secure the future of customers, so that they can look forward with confidence," commented Ioannis Kotsianos, Chairman of the Executive Committee of Allianz Bulgaria.
