The most noticeable effect of digitalization was in lending. At the end of 2020, the volume of mortgage sales in digital channels amounted to 33.6 billion rubles. (almost a quarter of the total mortgage issuance), remote sales of cash loans amounted to 51 billion rubles (38% of the total issuance), of which 10.6 billion rubles. issued without a visit to the office. Issues of credit cards with home delivery amounted to 3,700 items (more than 2.3 billion rubles).
In 2020, Otkritie Bank significantly expanded the geography of courier delivery of card products. Currently, the service is available to both existing and new customers in 138 cities for the delivery of debit cards and in 27 cities for the delivery of credit cards, including in those locations where there are no bank branches. Along with the launch of virtual cards, the delivery service made it possible to increase sales of credit cards by 1.5 times and sales of debit cards in digital channels by 33%, despite the decrease in economic activity of the population and restrictions due to the pandemic.
The bank plans for 2021 to continue the digitalization of lending, including mortgages. In addition, Otkritie plans to launch a number of new card products, including virtual ones, as well as significantly expand the card delivery service to 500 cities. The transition of products to digital reduces their cost for the bank, which ultimately makes them not only more convenient, but also more profitable for customers.
