Center-invest Bank would like to inform its clients and partners that the recently announced sanctions imposed by the EU on 94 Russian banks — including major regional financial institutions and Center-invest Bank among others — do not affect the Bank’s current day-to-day operations or financial stability. 

The stated grounds for the sanctions against the bank include the development of modern technologies and support for the Government and the Bank of Russia. The bank continues to serve its clients in full, honoring all its commitments.

All products and services remain fully available to the Bank’s clients, including payment and settlement operations, lending, deposits, and cash management services.

«We do not anticipate any negative impact on the bank’s operations, as such economic developments have become routine. The Russian banking system has already adapted to sanction pressure and built a sovereign alternative settlement system, minimizing risks for clients», noted Sergei Skripka, Chairman of the Executive Board.

In 2026, the leading Analytical Credit Rating Agency (ACRA) affirmed the bank’s credit rating at A+(RU) with a Stable outlook and assigned it an ESG-2 (AA+) rating — the highest among rated banks — also with a Stable outlook. The bank improved its position in the Forbes Reliability Ranking, rising to 35th place (+7 positions), and ranked 4th in the Expert RA ranking by volume of loans issued to SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) in 2025.

Against the backdrop of geopolitical and economic instability, these results demonstrate the stability and efficiency of the bank’s sustainable business model.
