Overview

edit

ZUNO's parent company is Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI). RBI ranks among the top 100 banks worldwide. It is embedded in the Austrian Raiffeisen Banking Group (RBG), which is the largest banking group in Austria.

The bank obtained a banking license from the Austrian Financial Market Authority in 2009. The "Single European Passport" principle allows the new direct bank to enter the banking market in another EU member state simply by following a notification process with the competent regulatory authorities.[3]
