OREANDA-NEWS. June 05, 2013. The “Expert” magazine published an annual ranking of Internet-banking system operativeness in Russia. In the summary table of 65 such banking systems SBANK.RU Private system is ranked 9th.

The ranking evaluated functional capabilities of the systems as well as their security level. The analysis involved estimation of three key components: external payment operativeness, internal transactions and service functions, information and financial security. Concerning “Internal functionality and service functions” SB Bank is ranked 2nd. This criteria was evaluated basing on presence/absence of such important options as transactions with deposits, online opening of a virtual card, payment program on a prescribed client schedule, report on card operations for any period, information about current loans etc.

Constant development of Internet-banking system operativeness, tendency to increase volumes of client savings in credit organizations and consumer lending boom influenced the situation positively. Furthermore, clients became more demanding and it is not easy to attract them only by introducing new functions as they look for more security in remote banking services.
