History

At SKB, we have acquired a lot of knowledge and experience during our half a century of operations and have learnt to maintain only the best. As part of the Société Générale Group, one of the largest banking groups in the Eurozone, we are richer for new knowledge, which is contributing to deliberate decisions and strategic operations, which enable us to offer clients consultation and banking services of the highest quality more easily and efficiently.
