UNICEF Srbija

I am very proud of the collaboration with UNICEF, which we have been building together for almost twenty years, contributing to the improvement of the quality of life and creating better conditions for the development of children both in Serbia and around the world. In addition to a series of projects focused on early development and parenthood, Banca Intesa is one of the first banks to provide continuous systemic support to the Fund's work through client donations in branches without commission, as well as through standing orders since 2012. Since the introduction of the new functionality within Banca Intesa Mobi, 'Donate through the application', in 2023, this service has been available to clients without additional commission and through mobile banking. In less than a year, since UNICEF became part of the system covering this unique functionality, nearly 125,000 client donations have been generated, totaling almost 8,800,000 dinars.
