Rebranding

Before the rebranding, the bank was called (BelSwissBank).

National Bank revokes the license for certain transactions with individuals from the Swiss "BSB Bank". From June 26, individuals will actually not be able to use its services. The management of BSB Bank has already expressed bewilderment and disagreement with the tough decision of the regulator and asked customers to withdraw all the money. We explain what is happening.

What is this bank?

BSB Bank has existed in Belarus since 2002. It is 100% foreign, the founders are three Swiss joint-stock companies: Swiss Investment Century, Alpin Professional Investment and Profinvest Professional and Financial Investment. Of the 25 banks in the country, BSB ranks 17th in terms of assets. In terms of profit growth Last year The bank was in third place. Its net profit amounted to 4.386 million rubles (for comparison, the leader of Priorbank - just over 50 million).

Why was the license for operations with individuals revoked?

The official response of the National Bank is as follows: “The decision was made taking into account the violations and shortcomings in its activities identified during the audit of the bank and comes into force from the moment the bank is notified of its adoption, which is scheduled for June 26, 2017.”

As Onliner.by learned from banking circles, BSB Bank had problems over the past two years.

- The National Bank has repeatedly warned them on a number of issues, the regulator's patience has run out,- said our source.

What does this mean for clients?

From June 26, they will not be able to open and maintain bank accounts, use bank cards, put money on deposits and use the "trust management" service.

In its official appeal on the website, BSB Bank asks its customers to withdraw money by June 25th. By the way, the bank removed all commissions when withdrawing, so that you can use any ATM in the country.

What if I'm on vacation and don't have time to do it or the bank runs out of money?

From June 26, the obligation to reimburse the clients of BSB Bank will be transferred to the state institution Agency for Guaranteed Compensation bank deposits(deposits) individuals". Within seven days, it must officially inform about the place and procedure for reimbursement bank deposits, as well as the terms and time of payment.

The bank-attorney "Bank Moscow-Minsk" will accept applications for payment and reimburse the money. However, it is not yet clear when that will be.

- We confirm that we are authorized bank and ready to guarantee a refund, - noted in it.

So the bank is on the verge of bankruptcy or not?

BSB managers assure that it was and is in a stable state, ensuring all the interests of depositors.

- The Bank exceeds all the main standards of safe functioning established by the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus, - says in the statement. - CJSC "BSB Bank" expresses its bewilderment about the rigidity of the decision and considers it inappropriate for the identified violations. The Bank continues its activities in the market of the Republic of Belarus, fully servicing legal entities and individual entrepreneurs.

Review of BSB Bank: My collaboration with BSB has been going on for several years. Every time I am greeted here by friendly staff, ready to help resolve any issue. Just one example: it was required to open new deposit, but, apparently, I chose not the most suitable day for this - I got into the queue. Prepare for a long wait. After a couple of minutes, the administrator came up and offered free coffee. When the employee was released, I did not even have time to finish this coffee. I have never seen such promptness in any other bank.

Review of BSB Bank: Attentive and polite employees work in the bank, when I enter the branch, the employees greet me at least three times - administrators, tellers. When issuing cash, they are interested in what banknotes it is more convenient for me to receive. In what other bank will they be attentive to such trifles, and after all, the general impression is formed from them! But there is a fly in the ointment. There is a real lack of a department for working with legal entities, which would not close at 17.00, an inconvenient schedule. Is it possible to revise the mode of operation for at least a couple of on-duty branches?

Review of BSB Bank: Together with BSB (formerly Belswissbank) we have been going through life for 3 years already. I am an entrepreneur, I have to visit the bank every 2-3 weeks. Every time only positive emotions. Friendly staff, professional service, emphatically polite attitude. The girls are constantly smiling, and this is not an on-duty, but a sincere smile. Svetlana, a specialist in the plastic card department, always leaves pleasant impressions. Professional, charming, self-possessed, with enviable patience will listen to the most backward client. Accessible and accurate information on all issues of interest. It remains to name the address - this is a bank on Svobody Square in Minsk. By the way, Svetlana works on the 3rd floor, if you understand me;)

Review of BSB Bank: It may not be customary to talk about beauty on such a portal when such confusion is going on around. And not to her. But still. The new website of BSB Bank is decidedly good. I often visit the websites of different banks and on some I just scream dumbly in my hearts: why do I need SO MANY information on one page, not always in the best way structured, in small print, without pictures! And so they heard me. As they sometimes say New Year: dear Santa Claus, all year I was a good boy ... (and then the list of gifts). So you know, I, a person with a heightened sense of beauty, and at the same time indecently logical and loving schemes, liked the new BSB website. Simple, clear, structured, lots of free space. Thank you! Cool.
