History
The Bank's branch and ATM network, the largest in [[Greece]] (568 domestic banking units and 1370 ΑΤΜs), effectively covers the entire country. It is developing and expanding alternative distribution channels for its products, such as mobile and internet banking. Today, after recent acquisitions in South Eastern Europe the Group's network overseas includes 868 units. One of the Bank's main strengths is the confidence shown in it by its customers, who hold over 9 million deposit accounts and more than 1.5 million lending accounts with NBG. Having reaffirmed its leading position in the [[Greece|Greek]] market, the bank is further modernizing its operations, backed by investment in new technology, so as to better serve its customers and enhance its profitability. <ref>[http://www.nbg.gr] National Bank of Greece site. </ref>
