OREANDA-NEWS. May 15, 2007. In May 2007, 100 customer service outlets went into operation in Ukraine as part of the efforts to develop Sviaz-Bank’s BLIZKO money transfer system, reported the press-centre of  Sviaz-Bank.
The service outlets were set up at the branches and offices of one of the republic’s oldest and largest banks, the State Oshchadny Bank of Ukraine (Oshchadbank Open Joint-Stock Company).
Keeping in mind the BLIZKO outlets that opened earlier in Ukraine, customers can now make use of BLIZKO services not only in large cities, but also in small population settlements.
When commenting on the opening of BLIZKO outlets in Ukraine, Vice-President of Sviaz-Bank Igor Klyuchnikov noted that cooperation with Oshchadbank of Ukraine is regarded as strategically important for developing the money transfer system due to Oshchadbank’s prestige, its widespread service network, and its popularity among customers.
