OREANDA-NEWS. More than 7,800 deposits totaling Rb 2.2 bn were opened as part of Uniastrum Bank's special offer on the Banki.ru web portal between April 2 and May 31 this year

During the promotion period Uniastrum invited visitors to the highly popular Banki.ru portal to open an Access account on special terms as part of celebrations marking the Bank's 19th anniversary. Each new depositor received a gift from the bank, as well as the chance to take part in Banki.ru's monthly cash prize draw.

Interest on Uniastrum's Access account is currently up to 10% for ruble deposits and up to 4.5% for those in foreign currency. An Access account can be used to deposit anywhere between Rb 20,000 and Rb 20 mn, or the equivalent amount in dollars or euros, for up to one year. A conspicuous advantage of the account is that is gives holders greater control over their savings. Depositors can add to them and, if need be, debit their account to the amount stipulated in their agreement. Access also offers monthly earnings in that any interest accrued is automatically transferred to the holder's checking account or his/her card account. If all the funds are withdrawn early, interest on ruble accounts is paid at 3%.

Uniastrum's “Gold Season” promo will continue to run until July 31. Up until then, anyone opening an Access or Big Interest account at any Bank outlet receives a gift and stands a chance of winning one of twenty 24-carat gold ingots.

“We regard our partnership with the portal to be productive and beneficial for our customers,” says Susanna Uzunyan, member of Uniastrum's Management Board and head of the Retail Product Design and Development Division. “The results of our special anniversary deposit offer speak for themselves.”

“Our aim is to establish working relationships with banks in order to ensure the best possible terms for visitors to our portal,” notes Dmitri Korchagin, Chief Commercial Officer at Banki.ru. “Our partnership with Uniastrum is a prime example. For the third time in a row our joint special offer has become one of the most popular on the Banki.ru site. Thousands have jumped at the chance to open an Access account on special terms and participate in our Bank Lotto prize draw. Uniastrum Bank has consistently shown itself to a dependable partner and we're more than happy to continue our partnership going forward.”
