Latest Reviews of Home Credit Bank
I came to the branch several times to get a refund for a card payment I made by mistake. Ultimately, I had to close the topic because... SMS messages began to arrive stating that the issue had been submitted for consideration and would be resolved before such and such a date. Then a new SMS with a new deadline. I came to the department three times, they did something there, they called somewhere, but to no avail. In the end, only I, of all the participants, was interested in resolving the issue. With home credit, this apparently means the client “first of all”

The bank is disgusting! Interest rates on “card” loans exceed 50%!!! Bank representatives do not enter into any negotiations! Despite the decision of YOU that it is illegal to charge interest for maintaining an account (an imposed service that the client does not receive (a requirement of the central bank), a violation of the consumer protection law), they continue to charge them monthly!
Boris, 21.05.2016 Link
I've been using Home Credit services for a couple of years - a credit card, to be precise. Somehow it happened that I lost the card. I was worried, of course, but when I called, they assured me that they had blocked it immediately, so no one had time to use it. Three days later they called and said we could come and pick it up. new map. So I was pleased with everything.

I have been using the services of Home Coedit Bank for a long time and I seemed to like everything. But recently the credit limit on my credit card was reduced by half and without warning. Imagine my surprise when, when making a purchase, I received a payment refusal from the bank. This circumstance is a direct violation of the contract. I wrote a complaint to the bank, but after two weeks the customer department did not react at all. So I’m going to close the card here and open it at another bank.

The list of the best included ten banks, which together account for 60% of the total assets of the entire Russian banking sector. Considering their special importance for the Russian economy, even in the most difficult times The Bank of Russia intends to keep them afloat.
10. Promsvyazbank
For the third year now (since 2014), Promsvyazbank has been among the systemically important banks. In terms of assets and deposits, it is in the top 10, but in terms of loans it is in the second ten. The total amount of funds is 1.33 billion rubles.
9. Moscow Credit Bank
Let's hope that the disastrous advertisement on the theme of Santa Claus and a bad mother, which caused a storm of indignation at the end of 2016, will not greatly affect the bank's reputation in the eyes of the population. In the meantime, MKB is in the top ten both in terms of assets and in terms of loans and deposits. The total volume of assets is 1.45 billion rubles.
8. National Clearing Center
A subsidiary of the largest Russian exchange holding company, Moscow Exchange, was included in the list of key banks according to the list of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation only at the beginning of 2017. The main area of activity is clearing on the foreign exchange, commodity, derivatives and precious metals markets. Compared to last year, the volume of NCC assets increased by 13.28% and amounted to 2.3 billion rubles.
7. Alfa-Bank
The only completely non-state bank, which is among the banks that are especially important for the Russian economy, by all indicators is successfully emerging from the crisis of the banking system. True, users complain about the abundance of imposed services for which they do not receive full information. The total volume of assets is 2.5 billion rubles.
6. Rosselkhozbank
Initially, Rosselkhozbank was planned as a kind of Sberbank No. 2, only for agricultural organizations. Its sole shareholder is the federal agency Rosimushchestvo. However, according to the rating agencies Moody’s and Fitch, the bank’s outlook is rather “negative”. The volume of assets is 2.8 billion rubles.

Otkrytie represents the holding of the same name, which is one of the largest financial groups in the country - its total assets amount to more than two trillion rubles. Otkrytie FC has a net worth of 2.8 billion rubles.

The value of assets is 5.2 billion rubles.
2. VTB (formerly Bank of Moscow)
One of the most significant events in the banking sector in 2016 was the takeover of one of the largest banks, Bank of Moscow, by VTB Bank. Despite the problems after the redistribution of Bank of Moscow shares, which necessitated the assistance of the Deposit Insurance Agency, in general this operation looks profitable for VTB. It is expected that 2017 will put everything in its place. The total size of assets is 9.5 billion rubles.

The opinion of reputable rating agencies is important for assessing the reliability of a bank’s activities.
LLC "HKF Bank" has the following indicators:
- In June 2015, the international rating center Moody’s Interfax Rating Agency rated Home Credit Bank Baa1, which means moderate credit risk. This assessment is valid to this day.
- On November 18, 2015, the no less influential international agency Fitch Ratings assigned Home Credit Bank a B+ rating. This indicator characterizes the bank as an organization with significant credit risks, but at the same time having reserves to “stay afloat”. The bank's financial obligations with such an assessment are fulfilled, but stability depends on external and internal economic factors.
- In the rating of the international agency Standard & Poor’s, the last time a B+ rating was recorded was on September 1, 2011. At that time, S&P considered Home Credit Bank an institution with a high risk of credit risks, but it fulfilled its financial obligations in full.
- At the beginning of 2016, HCF Bank LLC was not represented in the ranking of well-known Russian analytical centers: Expert RA, National Rating Agency, AK&M, RusRating. On June 22, 2015, it took 10th position among Russian banks that effectively use Internet banking, according to the Expert RA agency.
