Description
EPG Eurobank Ergasias, the third largest bank on the Greek market, plans to open a subsidiary in Poland and has already launched a recruitment drive. The bank plans to open 200 branches by 2008. The new financial institution will probably be named EPG Bank so as to avoid any confusion with Polish Eurobank and at the same time retain the name of the investor - the Swedish EPG group that has a 41% share in the Greek bank.
