Custody services

Custody services are designed for domestic investors who invest in foreign securities and foreign investors who invest in domestic securities.

We are the first bank in Slovenia that began marketing custody services for foreign customers. In 1996, we offered custody services to all foreign portfolio investors, gaining the biggest share of the Slovenian securities market in this area. This ranks UniCredit Bank among the leading providers of custody services for foreign and domestic investors in Slovenia.
