'The number of consumer loan cooperatives like RichBrokerCreditService Active, Active Invest, and Grand Capital has been increasing in Sverdlovsk Region lately,‘ Deputy GD and Director of Accord Invest’s Ural branch Konstantin Selyanin said to UrBC.

In the meantime, the representatives of Accord Invest’s Ural branch have placed over fifteen complaints with the Federal Antimonopoly Service’s regional division since February 1, 2008. The complaints are all related to these cooperatives’ activity.

'Five more cooperatives were introduced in the region within the last two or three months, for instance, Basis Alliance, Grand Credit, New Style, Mir, and International Finance Operations Center. We are going to keep an eye on them, too,’ Mr. Selyanin said.
