PRAVEX-BANK’s key strategic area for development operates as a multi-functional financial institution that provides a full range of both retail and corporate banking services. PRAVEX-BANK has gained public recognition and can now be proud of its achievements, which have made the PRAVEX-BANK brand a symbol of trust and reliability. Having been on the Ukrainian banking market for over 16 years, every year PRAVEX-BANK becomes increasingly available, convenient and closer to all its potential clients and partners in terms of both its high service standards and its geographic reach. The Bank was able to achieve these results through the creation of a very large network of offices and branches throughout Ukraine, and as a result, the Bank ensures the maximum proximity of banking services to each client. The Bank has over 551 directorates and outlets both in the Kyiv region and in all Ukrainian regions, including the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Today, we are a NATIONWIDE BANK.
