OREANDA-NEWS. April 17, 2013. Yet another accomplishment of the bank recognized by experts in the rating of “50 LEADING BANKS OF UKRAINE 2013” – a win in the category “Loans to SME and sole proprietors”.

According to the experts and analysts of the rating, PJSC “CREDIT AGRICOLE BANK” has become No.1 in SME segment financing in 2012.  

In spite of the economy’s compelling need for credit funds and banks’ unwillingness (or inability) to meet this demand in full, there were no problems with inaccessibility of resources for efficient companies even during a “hungry” year that passed. 

Viktoria Stupak, Head of SME Department in Credit Agricole Bank: "A good borrower is a company with profitable operations, demonstrating certain increase in sales in post-crisis period, with a steady position in its market segment and transparent financial statements. Besides, a good borrower should have a positive credit history, and its management – an impeccable reputation".
