SKB-Bank is about to introduce its Elite-Banks (that is, VIP customer service offices) in Chelyabinsk and Perm. The Chelyabinsk one will be housed in Chelyabinsk branch’s Perviy office at 30 Lenin St, while the one in Perm is to be located in Perm branch’s Sadoviy office at 9 Uinskaya St.


SKB-Bank’s first Elite-Bank office was set up in the company’s headquarters in Yekaterinburg and welcomed its first customers on April 9, 2007. So far, over one-tenth of the bank’s private individuals’ investment portfolio has been collected through Elite-Bank already.


SKB-Bank’s Deposit Director Denis Belogurov feels the introduction of Elite-Banks in Chelyabinsk and Perm is a necessary addition to the efficiently operating offices as well as a response to the local customers’ keenly felt needs.


‘Both Chelyabinsk and Perm are among the Urals’ largest and most developed cities whose dwellers need and deserve a special, personalized approach, this is why we are setting up Elite-Banks with outstanding customer service for them,’ he notes.


Elite-Banks will be open from 9 AM to 7 PM on weekdays, though timetable can be made more flexible to suit the bank’s VIP customers’ needs.
