The delegation, headed by general manager Anthony C. Schembri, also consisted of directors Werner Kaltenbrunner and Alexander Gollcher, head of international marketing and product development Christoph Rattasits and the bank’s administrative staff.

Set up in 1996, Raiffeisen Malta Bank plc is a fully owned subsidiary of the Vienna-based Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich AG (RZB) which is the parent company of the RZB Group and the central institution of the Austrian Raiffeisen Banking Group (RBG), Austria’s most powerful banking group. Founded in 1927, RZB provides the full range of commercial and investment banking services in Austria and is regarded as a pioneer in Central and Eastern Europe.
