"Nordea very successfully implements a selected business model, when daily operations are made via the Internet and decisions on management of family finances are taken at the bank with assistance of a personal consultant. It is understandable that the existing network of branches was too narrow for new customers, who select direct communication with the bank, flows. In addition, we have recently offered several new credit, saving and investment instruments, therefore, our desire is that they would be available for wider customer circles," says Jaunius Marinskas, Head of Retail Banking of Nordea Bank Lietuva.
