The banking sector's joint effort helped save more than 4 000 lives

The sixth social campaign titled Good Deed Bank – Banking Blood Donors’ Month has come to an end. During the event banking sector employees helped save more than 4 000 lives.

 

The Hungarian Banking Association and representatives of the domestic banking sector drew attention to the importance of blood donation for the sixth time. The sixth Good Deed Bank – Banking Blood Donors’ Month took place between 6 October and 31 October 2025, with mobile blood donation sites set up in nineteen locations in Budapest and two in the countryside.

 

The Banking Blood Donors’ Month has become an emblematic part of the Good Deed Bank programme, a joint social responsibility project of the domestic banking sector, which strengthens the community and can serve as an example for other sectors. Its success is demonstrated by the fact that the programme, which initially lasted one week, has now grown to cover a whole month, and, as in previous years, the Hungarian National Bank and the Ministry of Agriculture have also joined in, in addition to financial institution employees. Dr. István Nagy, Minister of Agriculture and two Deputy Governors of the Hungarian National Bank (MNB) personally donated blood at the opening event held in K&H Bank’s head office.

 

Since three units of blood can be produced from one blood donation, the blood donated by bank employees provides four days' worth of supplies, ensuring the availability of blood products for the recovery of more than 4 000 patients.
