Entering the Sberbank ecosystem and renewing the company’s brand is a new stage in its development. It is very important for us to preserve what we are valued as a leader in the payment services market – simplicity, manufacturability, convenience of services and a wide range of opportunities. The client and his needs remain the focus of our work.
