Why Using Humor and Stereotypes Paid Off for Addiko Bank

Goals and objectives

Up until recently, Addiko Bank used to be called “Hypo Alpe Adria Bank” and was known for their rigid credit policies and conservative business model (their words, not ours). Their market advantage was unclear.

The newly born Addiko became a bank “for everybody” that offers simple banking focused on efficiency and clean communication with their users.
