The regional focus is broad-based, addressing issues both in major centers (Tallinn, Harju County, Pärnu, Tartu) and in rural areas where the number of small high schools is being reduced. Separately, solutions and potential advantages are being sought specifically for young people in Tartu regarding the continuation of their education.

The focus is strongly regional, concentrating on Southeast Estonia, particularly Valga and Põlva counties, which lack physical bank branches. The issue is highlighted by the distance separating the residents of Valga (12,000 – 15,000 people) from the nearest branch (Tartu, 200 km away).
