Analysts of the Delovoy Kvartal magazine came up with a top list of Yekaterinburg’s leading banks for the first half of 2011. The credit institutions were rated on the basis of several criteria, with SKB-Bank topping all the ratings.

The main criterion behind the rating was the private individuals lending portfolio in Yekaterinburg and Sverdlovsk Region. SKB-Bank, with its portfolio of 14,35bn RUR, proved No. 1 among the Yekaterinburg-based banks. It was also the bank with the largest volume of loans offered to private individuals between July 1, 2010 and July 1, 2011 (the figure for the period came to 12.18bn RUR).
