The Ural Bank for Reconstruction and Development was featured in Credcard’s rating of Russia’s top twenty banks that are seen as the most reliable ones by the cardholders. The rating, featuring both regional and federal-scale banks, was based on the results of online voting (with 25,000 respondents taking part). The Ural Bank for Reconstruction and Development was given the 13th best position and received 7.67% out of 8.62% among the Urals-based banks that made it to the list.

The results of the rating are an independent assessment of banking services made by the customers through a special website. The rating data for June 2008 make it clear that most cardholders stay very loyal to large federal and regional banks.

‘We are grateful for the trust our customers have shown, and for their willingness to be with us. Good loyalty indicators can serve as an additional motivating factor in the process of R&D and launching new, varied and convenient services. In addition, we can boast an extended subsidiary network both in this region and throughout all of Russia, so we can bring our services close to the customers and thus save their time for more important matters. It is the bank and the customer’s mutual cooperation that facilitates both parties’ dynamic development and achievement of goals,’ says Yulia Vasina, the Ural Bank for Reconstruction and Development’s Card Technologies Director.
