Sberbank CZ (known as Volksbank by February 2013) has been operating on the Czech market since 1993. It is one of small Czech banks with a 1-2% market share in assets, loans and deposits. Through a network of 24 branches and nearly 700 employees, it serviced more than 30,000 clients at the end of 2012, the year when the operations have been taken over by the Russian owner. The bank seems to be fairly cost efficient given its relatively small size (with costs accounting for 53% of income in the last 5 years), though profitability remains low (average ROE of around 5% only) thanks mainly to high cost of risk. Expansion led by the new owner will be interesting to watch for in the near future, especially, in the area of retail banking where the bank plans to double size of its branch network and to gain a 5% market share.
