OREANDA-NEWS. October 02, 2009. Russian Standard Bank, Russia’s leading private consumer lender, has expanded its premium branch network with the opening a second VIP client services office in Moscow and a new VIP branch in Novosibirsk. The branches are dedicated to clients using Russian Standard Bank’s high end products, such as Imperia and premium American Express® Cards (Gold Card, Platinum Card, Centurion, British Airways American Express Premium Card, Transaero American Express Platinum Card), VIP-deposits, individual safety deposit boxes and current accounts, reported the press-centre of Russian Standard Bank.

The new branches, located at Dolgorukovskaya Street, 31, in Moscow and Sibrevkoma Street, 2, in Novosibirsk, operate seven days a week and feature 24-hour self-service areas with ATMs and
terminals providing access to Russian Standard’s Internet banking services.

The new branches held special exhibits and performances to welcome new and existing clients. In Moscow, the Novoslobodskaya branch featured an exhibit by award-winning Russian fashion photographer Mikhail Korolev. The Novosibirsk branch opening was accompanied by a classical music performance by “Soloists of Moscow,” a chamber ensemble under the tutelage of world renowned violist Yuri Bashmet.

“Russian Standard Bank recognizes that premium clients require superior banking services and facilities. When opening our new VIP branches, we paid special attention to their locations. In Moscow, the branch is in the north central commercial center of Novoslobodskaya, and we selected Novosibirsk because it is the commercial center of Siberia. In the near future we will open additional VIP branches in Moscow and other Russian regions,” - said Kamal Boushi, Director of Cards and Merchant Services at Russian Standard Bank.
