OREANDA-NEWS. October 20, 2011. Suitably located for extra customer convenience, Uniastrum’s flagship office in Omsk has been designed fully in line with the Bank’s new corporate style.

The branch’s interior concept ensures maximum customer comfort and features a spacious service area consisting of two individual sections for retail and business clientele, respectively. The office is equipped with a state-of-the-art teller unit, a separate desk for Unistream money transfer operations, and meeting rooms. Immediately outside the bank entrance a 24-hour ATM has been installed, while inside customers are able to use a self-service terminal.

Uniastrum Bank’s Omsk branch opened in 2005 and today comprises the flagship office on Ordzhonikidze Street and the Dvortsovy neighborhood banking center. Local corporate clients include big companies headquartered in the region, as well as a large number of smaller enterprises. The branch continues to work actively with Omsk region’s small business assistance and development fund. Figures for the first nine months of 2011 show the branch’s SME loan portfolio at Rb 800 mn, up 60% on October 1, 2010. Local confidence in Uniastrum is underscored by the sustained uptrend in retail deposits. As of October 1, 2011 Omsk branch’s time deposit portfolio topped Rb 900 mn.

“Growth in the branch’s headline indicators confirm the Bank’s solid positions in the Omsk region,” notes Eugene Tutkevich, Chairman of the Uniastrum Management Board. “Our ongoing efforts to update our network are geared toward optimizing performance and boosting business volumes going forward.”
