"Vedomosti": "Alfa groups" will create a digital bank

Alfa Group is working on creating its own digital bank, which will be specialized in remote maintenance. This is written by "Vedomosti" with reference to sources.

The bank will belong to Alfa-Group and will become a competitor to Alfa Bank. It is reported that he will not repeat the model of existing digital banks.

As the interlocutor of the publication, close to the group, said, remote maintenance is not suitable for all Alfa Bank customers, but some of them will switch to a new model. For this reason, in the group they want them to have what to offer customers.

The interlocutor of RNS said that the new bank can get the name “Tigore”.

The net profit of Tinkoff Bank, which works with customers remotely, according to IFRS in the first half of 2017, amounted to 7.6 billion rubles.
