OREANDA-NEWS. June 23, 2010. Bank Respublika has decided to reduce interest rates and expand on-lending of micro-loans and loans to small and medium businesses. This decision has been taken based on analysis of historical data of these types of loan products, reported the press-centre of Bank Respublika.

Acceptable lending conditions and wide network of branches allows customers to apply for business loans, small and medium business loans, agro and group loans in Baku and 19 regions of Azerbaijan.

Bank Respublika started its operations in 1992 and is now one of the leading banks of Azerbaijan. The Bank's shareholders include 2 of Germany's largest financial organizations – DEG, a member of the KfW banking group, and SIDT, a member of Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, which hold a package of 25% + 1 share in the bank. Bank Respublika’s credit portfolio has totaled AZN 170.5 million as of June 1, 2010.
