Bank Saint Petersburg was recognized as the "Bank of the Year for Foreign Economic Activity" according to the results of the national award "Financial Elite of Russia 2020"

Bank Saint Petersburg became the winner of the XVI national award "Financial Elite of Russia 2020" in the nomination "Bank of the Year for Foreign Economic Activity".


Bank Saint Petersburg has moved away from simple product offers to participants in foreign economic activity. Today, foreign economic activity at Bank Saint Petersburg is a real ecosystem that operates on a one-stop-shop basis. After all, exporting and importing companies need not only RKO, but also risk protection, financing, insurance, solving non-banking issues related to foreign markets, and much more. Bank Saint Petersburg provides exporters and importers with a comprehensive service that covers all aspects of their business to the maximum.
The effectiveness of the new approach is evidenced by the results of 2020, with a 30% increase in the volume of new foreign economic activity contracts and an 8% increase in the number of foreign economic activity clients. At the same time, we recall that in the first half of 2020, there was a decrease in customer activity in the foreign economic activity market due to the pandemic, but despite external conditions, the dynamics of foreign economic activity of Bank Saint Petersburg significantly exceeded the market, for example, the market decreased by 17%, and the volume of customer payments in the Bank increased by 3%.

"As part of the Bank's adopted Development Strategy for 2021–2023, one of the goals is to become one of the market leaders in foreign economic activity, and since then we have been striving to make the best foreign economic activity in the banking market: we are improving our service, expanding our customer base, and conducting projects aimed at achieving this goal. For a participant in foreign economic activity, a reliable partner is important, to whom you can contact for any questions. And we want to be this reliable partner, comments Sergey Noritsin, Director of the Directorate of Foreign Trade Operations at Bank Saint Petersburg".
