BANKS (42 listings) File Created: 28-Jan-03
See also: CREDIT CARDS
Contains:

The Russian government is now looking to create a special structure to regulate and control the banking system through administrative and accounting methods with Central Bank in charge.
The backbone of a new banking system will consist of the following three levels:
1. The Central Bank and Savings Bank in tandem.
2. A network of major banks operating throughout the country running a network of branches in the region.
3. Regional banks.
Below we list major St. Petersburg banks that by November. For currency exchange offices, see CURRENCY EXCHANGE. For cash advances and ATM locations, see CREDIT CARDS. For money transfer, see WESTERN UNION.

    FOREIGN BANKSspaceTopspaceB indexspaceA-Z Index
    The number of foreign banks operating in Russia remains at only a handful. Most of them work only with large corporate clients.
    Most foreign banks only have representatives in St. Petersburg and do not engage in retail banking operations. Normal hours are 9 to 18. English and the language of the bank's country are spoken.
    Most foreign banks are taking a wait and see approach in planning future expansion in the Russian market. Lending has been restricted to firms who export to companies located outside of Russia. In order to expand operations in Russia foreign banks are looking for the protection of international law, and the ability to leave in the short run. Most foreign banks in Russia are more fearful of the absence of law than of the economic risks.
