New Bohemian Regional Division to be established within the CNB’s Cash and Payments Department

The Czech National Bank (CNB) is continuing to implement changes in the Cash and Payments Department, aimed at significantly speeding up and simplifying client services. With effect from 1 July 2025, a new Bohemian Regional Division will be established, headed by the current Director of the CNB’s Prague branch Vladislav Jetenský. The Bank Board made this decision at its meeting on 20 March 2025.

The Bohemian Regional Division will be created through the merger of the Prague and Hradec Králové branches as part of the CNB’s broader strategy for service digitalisation. The aim is to simplify and speed up communication with clients, regardless of their location. Digitalisation will enable faster processing of requests and more convenient access to the CNB’s services.

Vladislav Jetenský graduated in finance from the Prague University of Economics and Business. He worked at the CNB as banking supervision inspector in 2001–2003 and then in ING as senior auditor, head of internal audit for the Czech Republic and Slovakia and head of the financial controlling team. He returned to the CNB in 2017 and held the post of Director of the Capital Market Supervision and Control Division of the Financial Market Supervision Department II. He served as Executive Director of the Internal Audit Department from 2021 to 2024. He has been Director of the Prague branch of the Cash and Payments Department since June 2024.
