The Bank 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. The Bank provides exporters and importers with a range of services (both banking and non-banking), which covers all aspects of its activities to the maximum and helps to conduct foreign economic activity more efficiently. "The effectiveness of the new approach is evidenced by the results of 2020 — 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%.

But these successes are not a reason to stop there. Foreign trade support is the Bank’s focus area in 2021. We have ambitious plans, we are preparing new projects that we will present to the market in the near future," commented Sergey Noritsin, Director of the Directorate of Foreign Trade Operations of Bank Saint Petersburg.
