The branch was established and put into operation in the context that credit institutions in the country in general and in the North Central region in particular were facing many potential risks from the after-effects of the collapse of a series of credit cooperatives in the 80s and 90s and after the Asian financial crisis in 1997. In particular, in recent years, due to the prolonged Covid 19 pandemic, the war between Russia and Ukraine, which affected the global economic crisis, had negative impacts on the socio-economy and people's lives. In that situation, the branch has closely directed and actively contributed to the goal of strengthening public trust, protecting the interests of depositors, and maintaining the stability of the system of credit institutions in the area to develop safely and effectively.
