Moreover, it should be emphasised that the Bank has established long-term business cooperation with Istria County, the founder of the Pula General Hospital.

In line with this, we should also mention the unique humanitarian project of the PBZ Group, "Doing Good Every Day", which has been used to help the community for over ten years now.
