Expert-Ural came up with a rating of Western Siberia and the Urals’ thirty-two largest banks’ corporate websites. These informational sites were evaluated on the basis of 44 different criteria that could be divided into two general categories: 1) quality of information and 2) user-friendliness and design. The website of Bank24.ru got three awards in the Best Website, the Information on the Bank, and the Navigation and Design categories. Remarkably, Bank24.ru crowned the rating in these same categories last year as well.

‘These great rating results are already becoming our good tradition. The bank’s website won in the Golden Site Open All-Russian Internet Contest in 2004 and was declared The Most Frequently Visited Online Resource on Finances by UralWeb in 2006. Today, we are always present on Russia’s Top 10 most frequently visited bank sites (according to SpyLOG’s rating),’ Bank24.ru’s press release states.

The bank’s online representation has been checked out by 1.855 million internet surfers since May 2003. Its daily audience amounts to 4,000 people. The improved second version, with emphasis on online services and content, is under construction at the moment.

‘The unique characteristics of our bank’s activity and great ideas we have in store are bound to result in an unprecedented bank website,’ Bank24.ru’s Internet Projects Director Dmitriy Govorukhin says.
