“The latest global trends show that more and more companies are choosing to talk to clients via social networks, Facebook being the largest of them”, comments Vadim Sukhoverkhov, Head of VTB Press Office. “Today, getting information is not enough – people want to be able to communicate, receive prompt feedback, and have their voice heard. The key idea of VTB Facebook page is to create a permanent channel for communication with our clients, shareholders and everyone who is interested in the world of finance.”

On VTB facebook page you can find the latest financial news, watch an entertaining video or even have a laugh by reading our special section, Friday Finance Fun. Our aim is to mix business with pleasure in the best way possible.”
