The Ural Bank for Reconstruction and Development was rated Russia’s 41st top broker in November 2007, RosBusinessConsulting reports. The bank’s total market turnover amounted to $272.11m last November. Moreover, the Ural Bank for Reconstruction and Development was Ural Federal District’s only bank to hit the rating.


'Stock market operations have always been one of the bank’s top priorities,’ says Vladimir Zotov, the bank’s Financial Institution Management and Treasury Investment Services Director.


'Our customers can use a range of stock market services we offer, such as trust management, broking, and e-trading, and people’s interest in these offers is on the rise despite the market’s changing dynamics. This is why we keep elaborating new services and are trying to make this kind of banking activity more popular: we started conducting special investment workshops last year,’ he notes.
