The investments and savings placed by private individuals in SKB-Bank have recently amounted to more than 15.5 billion RUR (compared with 13.7 billion RUR at the beginning of 2009).

‘Our Patriot deposit type definitely enjoys the greatest demand at the moment, primarily because the annual interest rate is set at 16.01% for the first one hundred days of the deposit period, while the minimum amount of money you must deposit only comes to 10,000 RUR. What is more, all the depositors get a chance to win UAZ Patriot, an off-road vehicle. In fact, over 5.5 billion RUR have been placed with the bank under Patriot within only two months of the deposit launch,’ the bank’s press officer reports.

In the meantime, Interfax-CEA (Center for Economic Analysis) says SKB-Bank is currently Ural Federal District’s fastest-growing bank in terms of private customers’ deposit volume. According to the agency, the bank’s volume of private individuals’ deposits rose by 69% over the year 2008.
