RBI is assessing all strategic options for the future of Raiffeisenbank Russia
Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI) is a universal banking group operating in 13 markets across Central and Eastern Europe.
The war in Ukraine is having a devastating impact on the country’s people and economy. Our thoughts and support are with all those people whose lives have tragically changed forever as a result of this war.
“This unprecedented situation leads RBI to consider its position in Russia. We are therefore assessing all strategic options for the future of Raiffeisenbank Russia, up to and including a carefully managed exit from Raiffeisenbank in Russia,” said RBI-CEO Johann Strobl.
RBI and its subsidiary banks continue to operate in compliance with local and international sanction laws, changing financial market requirements, and in line with our Code of Conduct.
RBI’s subsidiary banks are self-funded, well-capitalized, and have insignificant cross-border exposure to Russia. We have a duty of care to our employees and our customers. Across the RBI Group, we are doing everything we can to support them and the humanitarian effort.
