‘SKB-Bank’s new Patriot deposit was introduced as recently as two weeks ago (on December 8, 2008), but it has already proved extremely popular with customers. ‘1.09 billion RUR worth of deposits has been attracted in just a fortnight,’ the bank’s press officer reports.

This deposit offer is unique in that it combines great profitability with a short deposit period: the latter only comes to 100 days. One has to deposit at least 10,000 RUR, with the annual interest rate coming to 16.01%. One can also open a foreign currency deposit. What is more, UAZ Patriot, the off-road vehicle, will be awarded by SKB-Bank to one of the depositors.
