Stanislav Boguslavskiy, Chairman of the Board of Directors:
«2016 demonstrated a general stabilization of the economy, which in general had a positive impact on the banking sector. However, the continuing stagnation in the real sector is a deterrent to the resumption of the rapid growth of the banking business in its classical model.
It became obvious to us that the rapid growth of the company is possible by changing the format of the business. In this regard, last year LOCKO-Bank adopted an updated strategy, and started a process of deep transformation of business processes which will ensure the bank's transition to a digital model focused on providing remote services to clients. Also, as a part of the strategy, LOCKO-Bank has adopted an investment plan aimed at the development of IT infrastructure. The ultimate goal is to modernize the bank in the medium term in the format of an IT company, to form a range of products available through digital channels. I believe that the new business model will be able to ensure the dynamic growth of the bank's financial indicators and increase the competitiveness of our products in the financial services market».
