OREANDA-NEWS. December 2, 2011. Conducted by New Marketing Solutions, the survey covers Russia’s 40 biggest leasing companies (based on transaction portfolio size). Posing as customers, NMS employees asked the companies to supply details of their car and equipment leasing offers, simultaneously inquiring into the entire range of other leasing terms and conditions.

The overriding aim of the survey was to assess and compare the terms offered by the leasers, as well as the quality of service, focusing particularly on interest rates, the size of down payments, leasing timescales, financial and customer eligibility criteria, willingness to accept additional collateral, etc.

The results of the survey were used to rank leasing companies based on interest rates charged for different products. Uniastrum Leasing placed first and second among property and equipment leasing companies.

“Our price-friendly leasing terms hold strong appeal for customers,” notes Uniastrum Leasing CEO Timur Boitemirov. “Other benefits from doing business with us include longer leasing periods, as well as Uniastrum Bank’s extensive regional network stretching from Kaliningrad to Khabarovsk.”
