Credit Europe Bank NV Malta Branch has announced the appointment of Mert Ozden as the new country manager for Malta.

Mr Ozden is a career banker who has been with the bank for over 11 years. During this time he has occupied a number of posts in The Netherlands and Belgium in a variety of roles including corporate banking, marine finance and structured trade finance, as well as retail banking.

Credit Europe Bank NV is an innovative Dutch bank that was set up in The Netherlands in 1994. It has its headquarters in Amsterdam and has branches in Frankfurt and Antwerp in addition to their Malta branch, which is in Sliema and which became operative in January last year.

“We strongly believe that there is real potential for Malta to grow and become one of the leading regional centres for the international financial services industry not only in the EU but also worldwide. We are prudently ambitious and believe that our hands-on customer focused approach will enable Credit Europe Bank NV Malta Branch to become a best-in-class financial service provider, which will create real value not only for us as a bank, but also for our customers, employees and of course for Malta as well,” said Mr Ozden.
