UrBC, Yekaterinburg, July 13, 2015. Light, the Ural Bank for Reconstruction & Development’s e-banking service, was rated among the country’s ten most efficient systems for small businesses by Markswebb Rank & Report, the bank’s press service reports.

Additionally, Light was also among the top seven online banking service for startups.

The agency evaluated the e-banking systems’ functions, website interfaces, user accounts, mobile apps, and other online services along over 200 criteria.

The UBRD had its Light for legal entities updated in March. Changes were introduced to the visual concept and usability options. A handy horizontal menu was added, with all the main functions available under corresponding headings. Also, the most frequently performed transactions were presented in the form of shortcuts on the main page.

‘Traffic Light, a new service to assess a contractor’s dependability, is being designed right now. For example, if a contractor is undergoing this or that stage of bankruptcy proceedings, the system will switch the red light on, if a contractor was registered as a business less than six months ago, yellow light will be on, and if everything is fine, there will be green light,’ says the bank’s head of E-Banking Center Ilya Skvortsov.
