UniCredit Bank won the prestigious award "Financial Olympus". This professional award has existed for almost 20 years on the Russian market and annually celebrates the successes of companies and top managers working in the Russian financial sector.
By decision of independent Commission the Bank became the winner in the category "Retail banking" leaving aside 15 retail financial institutions. The growth of our deposit portfolio played a crucial role in decision making.
Ivan Matveev, Member of the Management Board and the Head of Retail Block, commented:
"We are very pleased that UniCredit Bank was awarded for the quality of its work, and in particular for a good performance of the retail deposit portfolio. We are proud that despite the difficult economic situation 1 700 000 customers trust us, and many of them are our new depositors as the deposit portfolio grew by 60% for the year. A strong international brand helps us significantly but the fact that for many years UniCredit Bank has confirmed its position as the largest Russian Bank with foreign capital and one of the most effective and reliable banks in the financial sector is also of high importance. Each of these characteristics of our Bank is supported by daily laborious work of our team, as at back office as at commercial network."
