Eurobank plans to have 300 franchises in 2018

Eurobank expects loan portfolio growth at a double-digit rate in 2018. The bank wants to launch 63 additional franchises reaching 300 by the end of 2018, bank's CEO Alexis Lacroix said. In 2017 Eurobank acquired over 220,000  new customers and increased the value of loan portfolio by 9% year-on-year. "This is just the beginning. In 2018 we expect a further, even stronger growth in the number of customers",  CEO said. Lacroix underscored that the bank wants to grow organically and doesn't plan acquisitions in Poland.
