UrBC, Yekaterinburg, October 1, 2019. SKB-Bank’s business-oriented project DeloBank is still No.1 on the list of the best banks for the self-employed and freelancers according to MarksWebb.

‘In the third quarter of the year, DeloBank remained the market leader with its special starter package with no monthly fee for the opening and administration of a settlement account. DeloBank’s customers can also transfer up to RUB 150,000 a month from their settlement account onto their private account free of charge,’ the bank reports.

Now Business Banking Fees Monitoring is the quarterly monitoring of banking fees in the online banking for SMEs segment. MarksWebb consultants looked into the costs of banking with eighteen Russian banks for three different Moscow-based small enterprises, and came up with their rating. Their research relied on the publicly available data on banking fees as well as the mystery shoppers’ feedback. MarksWebb used a self-employed professional who sells their services to legal entities, gets paid into a settlement account, and then transfers RUB 100,000 onto their private account at the same bank every month as their model of a freelancer customer.
