Bus/Financial - Finance (general)
German term or phrase: Schwerpunktregionen
Die geografischen Schwerpunkte der A-Bank liegen im Norden und Südosten Frankreichs (z.B. Marktanteil bei Krediten und Einlagen in Alsace-Lorraine: 46%), sowie in der wirtschaftlich starken Region um Paris. A-Bank ist insgesamt in 29 Bezirken tätig. Durch die B-BAnk ist die Gruppe allerdings über diese Schwerpunktregionen national und zu einem kleinen Teil auch international vertreten.

regional strengths
Explanation:
The reason these areas are Schwerpunkte is not because the bank has deliberately focussed on them but because its branches and customers are located there, so I think 'key regions' or 'heartland' are better than 'focus regions'.
I would try 'Geographically, A Bank is most strongly represented in...' and 'In addition to these regional strengths, A Bank is represented nationally/nationwide and to a lesser extent internationally through...'
