Prague, 4 January 2013 - Komer?ní banka offers a broad range of products and services to companies trading with Russia. A special current account, Ruská platba [Russian Payment], enables the clients to receive incoming and make outgoing payments under advantageous terms and conditions. KB has now improved the processing conditions for outgoing payments. On the Russian side, KB's partner is its sister bank, Rosbank, part of the Société Générale Group.

For the needs of companies that trade with Russia, Komer?ní banka offers all the products and services, including the special Ruská platba current account with more advantageous fees for payments made from/to Russia and, in addition, the option of processing outgoing EUR payments to Rosbank in the D+0 mode. The services have now been extended to include the urgent processing of outgoing payments in roubles. Thus, rouble payments from KB to Rosbank can now be credited to the account at Rosbank on the day on which KB receives the order. The cut-off time for delivering the payment order to KB is 11 a.m. for direct banking and 10.45 a.m. for MultiCash KB and EDI KB.

"Trade between the Czech Republic and the Russian Federation is dynamically growing and it is, understandably, increasingly attractive for our clients as well. We are therefore very glad to be able to further improve the offer that we have prepared in co-operation with our sister Rosbank," said Iveta Ocásková, Deputy Senior Executive Director of Distribution for the corporate segment at KB.

Among the almost 800 banks in Russia, Rosbank, part of the Société Générale Group, is the sixth largest privately-held corporate bank in terms of deposits, holding the 12th largest loan portfolio amongst privately-held corporate banks.

"For our clients who want to be Rosbank's clients as well, we will facilitate contact with the nearest branch, provide references, arrange meetings, and supply information about Rosbank's services. We will also help them find their way around the procedures that are specific for the Russian market. Naturally, we stay in touch with our colleagues at Rosbank and accompany the clients throughout their operations in Russia," added Martin Ehrenberger, Segment Management - Corporate manager.
