The financial figures and the income statement confirm PROTON BANK''s constant trend to achieve high growth rates. The growth strategy and profitable course are also boosted by the completion of the merger by absorption of OMEGA BANK. PROTON BANK keeps moving forward with a fast pace toward dynamic yet rational development and expansion.
