OREANDA-NEWS. February 01, 2011. Development of new banking products is one of the basic directions in the strategy of bank development. It’s a fair demand of nowadays market. New products are essential for satisfying customer needs in multipurpose and qualitative banking service.

Head of Strategy and Business Development Department in Corporate Division of Ukrsotsbank Ruslana Shpigotzkaya informs about new products for corporate clients: “At the moment we are preparing to launch a new product that is called “Ultrashort revolving credit lines” in order to finance working capital. It’s revolving lines of credit with short term tranches. The main advantage of the product for borrower is the low cost of credit resources, as cost value of tranches will depend upon cost value of banking resources including cost of the resources on inter-bank market that still remains rather volatile.

This product deals with financing trade operations on purchasing of raw materials for further production of finished goods or on purchasing goods, which will be encashed on external or domestic market, providing that there are corresponding contracts for purchasing or sale. Structured trade finance is provided in form of pre-export financing, stocking finance and post-export financing”.
