Russian: filial, otdelenie
Belorussian: filiya, addzyalen'ne (cognate of Russian "otdelenie")
Macedonian: filijal

German: Filiale, Zweigstelle, Nebenstelle, Zweiggesch=E4ft
Dutch: filiaal
French: filiale
Italian: filiale, succursale
Portuguese, Spanish: filial
Esperanto: filio

It looks to me like "filial" is by far the more common term than a word=20= meaning literally "branch".

Finnish does use "haara" ('branch') with "konttori" ('office') and "liik= e" ('business, firm'), similar to the German compounds with "Zweig-" ('branc= h').
