Sberbank will save the commission for transfers between regional branches in 2018

For the bank, this is too significant income to refuse it.

The head of Sberbank German Gref during a direct line with employees stated that in the coming years the organization would not abandon the commissions for interregional transfers within the bank. According to him, this is the only way to monetize P2P transactions, which in most cases are made without commission payments.

This is most of our income. On something, all our investments that we have made must be monetized. So far, this is not the most perfect story, because we are monetizing in interregional translations, and interregional transfers are slightly strange - between territorial banks. But, nevertheless, this is a serious income today for me and me. We cannot abandon it today yet. This means losing a very large amount of money.

From the conversation of Herman Gref with employees

Gref noted that the bank will try to move away from the charging of such a commission, but not in the coming years.

We work in two directions. First, we will gradually reduce the level of charged commissions in inter -territorial translations. Second, we will look for a different way to monetize this function, because any service must be paid.

Employees compared the situation with the abolition of roaming from cellular operators. But Gref noted that this required 20 years, and Sberbank was not yet ready for this.

So far we are not yet ready for this and the market is not yet ready, an alternative to Sberbank - you will come to the international payment system - for a long time and expensive. It is fast and cheaper with us. As long as there is such a market opportunity, we will use such a market opportunity
