OREANDA-NEWS. Sberbank took part in the business forum "Small Business - a National Idea?" which was organised by All-Russian Non-governmental Organisation of Small and Medium-sized Business "OPORA RUSSIA".

During the round table "Making Financial Resources More Accessible to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises", Svetlana Sagaidak, Vice-President of Sberbank, spoke about the bank's priorities for working with small business in 2016.

"Sberbank's approach to cooperation with entrepreneurs is very simple: the client concentrates on their business, while we do the rest - registration, reporting, accounting - via our online services," said Ms Sagaidak. "Today all the main business processes can be carried out using Sberbank's online services."

Sberbank has around 1.2 mln active small business clients, and is the primary settlement bank for small business. In 2015 representatives of small business opened more than 400,000 new accounts at Sberbank.
