Sberbank’s Ural branch had given 90 billion RUR worth of loans to private customers by the end of April 2008. The number of borrowers came to over 765,000 people, with 63,500 loan agreements signed in the first quarter of 2008 alone. This means more than 20,000 people take a loan from Sberbank’s Ural branch each month.

‘This building up of our private individuals’ loan portfolio stems from our experts’ hard work and our customers’ great trust. And we keep on improving on our service and offering new lending schemes as well,’ says Sberbank’s Ural branch’s Private Customer Lending Director Vyacheslav Reshetnikov.

Sberbank’s Ural branch currently deals in thirteen lending schemes, including car loans, emergency loans, real estate loans, educational loans, and special programs for young families, students, and retirees.
