The European Trust Bank (Eurotrust) has suspended accepting deposits from the public, an employee of the bank’s call center announced this, clarifying that “old deposits can be replenished.” Kommersant's interlocutor in the banking market, familiar with the situation at Eurotrust, said that the cessation of accepting deposits was due to the Central Bank's order, which was received back in August. However, as the bank's press service explained to the Prime agency, Eurotrust has limited the attraction of new deposits from individuals, since it has already formed a portfolio provided for in the business plan for the current year. “The bank considers it risky to attract a larger volume of deposits at the high rates prevailing on the market due to the volatility of individual deposits,” the bank said in a statement. Eurotrust cites the main argument in favor of such a decision to be that at the moment it is focused on attracting deposits from legal entities, considering them as relatively cheap and stable sources of funding. As of October 1, according to the bank’s reporting, citizens’ deposits amounted to 6.56 billion rubles, legal entities’ deposits held 6.74 billion rubles, and companies’ current accounts held 1.62 billion rubles.
