Ratka joined Chase Austria in 1982 from Bank of America,  where he had led the Trade Finance Group in Vienna..Chase In the early 1980s, Chase was very eager to set up a Trade Finance team; Manfred Kunert, who ran Chase Treasury at that time, strongly recommended that Chase hire Ratka. He subsequently ran Trade Finance until 1988 when he  moved to Bank Austria, becoming responsible for several CEE countries.
