 Volkskas's inter-registration with established local banks under the Banking Law of 1942 helped it connect better with the local economy, to the point that in 1947, it became a member of the Settlement Banking Office and set up agency agreements with other area banks in towns where the latter were unrepresented.Already in 1946, overseas representation began to meet the growing needs of clients who conducted transactions through other channels in other countries.This branch was aided by Volkskas getting certification in 1947 as a foreign currency handler.
