OREANDA-NEWS. November 24, 2011. The uptrend in lending was, among other factors, thanks to branches contributing a 6% bigger share to the corporate credit portfolio. As of October 1, 2011 Uniastrum’s regional network accounts for 55% of the portfolio and over 80% of loans to small business, reported the press-centre of Uniastrum.

Uniastrum Bank offers corporate customers a wide variety of loan products, including credit, credit lines, overdrafts, and trade finance. For smaller concerns there is a special multi-program lending package called Sensible Credit, which enables enterprises to select a loan facility in line with their specific goals, financial strength and/or individual projects.

“The expansion of our corporate business is underpinned by the establishment of long-term relationships with our clients,” notes Kirill Tikhonov, Deputy Chairman of Uniastrum’s Management Board. “For small and midsized enterprises one of our key priorities is to ensure that obtaining a loan is as easy and straightforward as possible, and to this end we remain committed to honing procedures for issuing loans with conveyor belt regularity.”
