Raiffeisen Bank plans to offer its banking services from minibuses in towns with fewer than 20,000 inhabitants in four counties, Népszabadság reports. Two Raiffeisen employees in each vehicle will offer services in Somogy, Tolna, Zala and Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg counties.

 

The service is similar to that of Magyar Posta, which has closed many post offices in small towns where demand was low.
