El convenio se enmarca dentro del Plan de Internacionalización puesto en marcha por la CECA en abril de 1998 y complementa otros acuerdos ya firmados con entidades de Alemania, Francia, Luxemburgo, Reino Unido e Iberoamérica.
En virtud del presente acuerdo, Raiffeisen International pone a disposición de los clientes de las Cajas a través de sus subsidiarias bancarias y financieras (compañías de leasing, seguros, desarrollo de proyectos, fusiones y adquisiciones, etc) en cada uno de los dieciocho países de ECE, una amplia gama de productos y servicios financieros con una atención personalizada y una estructura operative en cada país, ofreciendo servicios bancarios de alto valor añadido en una de las áreas geográficas de mayor interés para las empresas españolas. Entre ellos se encuentran: financiación a corto y largo plazo de sus proyectos empresariales en esos países; asistencia en sus operaciones de comercio exterior; consecución de informes comerciales; asistencia en la implantación de filiales y compra de empresas; apertura de cuentas de exportador; transferencia de pagos para beneficiaries en los países de ECE; tramitación de órdenes comerciales y emisión de garantías locales así como la ejecución de créditos documentarios.
Las ventajas para las Cajas que se derivan de este acuerdo-marco se concretan en la posibilidad de disponer de una atención personalizada a través de un único interlocutor para los dieciocho países de ECE además de Austria, que les permite poder ofrecer sus productos y servicios a sus empresas cliente y tener un mayor contacto con la realidad económica y comercial internacional.
La firma de este acuerdo contribuye a extender la asistencia a clientes en mercados de interés económico para las Cajas, añadiéndose a los que ya tiene la CECA firmados en Latinoamérica con Citibank y en países europeos con otras redes de Cajas de Ahorros o entidades internacionales de primera línea como Lloyds Bank en el Reino Unido. En resumen, la CECA cubre 44 países que suponen una red de 35.000 sucursales, siendo el objetivo final de la CECA la cobertura mundial, dando siempre prioridad a los mercados considerados por las Cajas como estratégicos para su negocio.

The Spanish Confederation of Savings Banks (CECA) and Raiffeisen International Holding AG have signed a collaboration agreement which will allow Raiffeisen International to provide financial services, not only in Austria, but also to Spanish companies, which are already clients of the Savings Banks, in eighteen Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. Raiffeisen International is part of the Austrian group RZB. It is the largest banking group in the CEE and has more than 2,700 branches and 10 million customers.
The agreement forms part of the Internationalisation Plan put in place by CECA in April 1998. It complements other agreements which have already been signed with firms in Germany, France, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom and Latin America.
This agreement enables Raiffeisen International to provide a wide range of products and financial services to the customers of the Savings Banks in each of the eighteen countries in the CEE. These products and services will be made available through its banking and other financial subsidiaries (companies which specialise in leasing, insurance, project finance and mergers and acquisitions etc). By having a business structure in each of these countries and a personalised approach, Raiffeisen International is able to offer high value-added banking services in one of the regions of the world which is of greatest interest to Spanish companies. These services include: short and long-term finance for their business projects in those countries; assistance with their foreign trade transactions; the procurement of status reports; assistance with setting up subsidiaries and acquiring companies; opening export accounts; transferring payments to beneficiaries in the CEE countries; procedures for commercial orders; the issue of local guarantees and the handling of documentary credits.
The advantage of this framework agreement for the Savings Banks is a personalised service for their clients, through a single partner, in the eighteen countries of the CEE, as well as in Austria. This enables them to offer their products and services to their business customers and to be more in touch with the international economic and business climate.
The signing of this agreement helps to extend assistance to customers which are in markets of economic interest to the Savings Banks. It adds to the agreements which CECA has already signed with Citibank in Latin America, with other networks of Savings Banks in European countries and with leading international organisations such as Lloyds Bank in the United Kingdom. In summary, CECA conducts business in 44 countries and has a network of 35,000 branches. CECA’s ultimate objective is to attain worldwide coverage, but at the same time, always giving priority to markets which the Savings Banks consider to be commercially strategic.

I used my Spanish for many years working for a financial research/software company in London which specialised in Capital Markets. My most recent role at this firm was as Global Loans Research Manager. Prior to this I worked for a Mexican bank in the City for two years and I have also undertaken temporary assignments at a Chilean mining firm.
Whilst in Spain I worked for an import and export firm and a computer services company. In the latter I carried out translations for the HR Department and the Legal Department. My dissertation for my degree, which had to be translated into Spanish, was on Career Development.
I have passed the General and Business papers of the Diploma in Translation through the Chartered Institute of Linguists (IoL). I am also an Associate of the Institute of Translation & Interpreting (ITI) and have completed the 2009 ITI Orientation Course.
I have worked for an independent financial adviser and have passed my Certificate in Financial Administration through the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII), which has given me a broader knowledge of the financial services industry.
I am keen to combine my passion for Spanish with my interest and experience in the areas of finance, banking, business, management and insurance, although I am also happy to undertake translations in other fields, including more general translations. I have completed two financial translations for The London School of Economics.
In addition to translation, I tutor both individuals and groups privately in Spanish. I teach adult evening classes at various levels at St Albans Girls' School.
I also teach piano to adults and children and I enjoy attending singing lessons myself. | This user has earned KudoZ points by helping other translators with PRO-level terms. Click point total(s) to see term translations provided.
