UrBC, Yekaterinburg, December 3, 2018. The Ural Bank for Reconstruction & Development’s Digital Solutions Director Alexander Pateshman gave a talk at the 11th Saint Petersburg International Innovations Forum, the bank’s press service reports.

Pateshman presented his report at the forum session on finance technologies and the sector’s leading banks and their managers. The report dwelled on the current state of affairs and the global trends within the online banking industry. Pateshman also spoke about the UBRD’s successful experience with the development and launch of an up-to-date mobile banking software.

‘We do more than just keep a close eye on the digital trends: we do our best to anticipate them and set them ourselves whenever we can. Our key principle is to keep improving our digital solutions, as the apps and services that may be quite advanced today could well lose their relevance in a couple of months from now,’ Pateshman said.

The UBRD also keeps implementing its Mobile First strategy, that is, trying to take as many banking transactions onto their customers’ smartphones as possible.
