Ugra residents are looking for an alternative way to store savings

Despite rising interest rates on deposits,bank customers are also interested in new products Demand for bank deposits has also increased 

Residents of Nizhnevartovsk became interested in alternative ways to store money, important papers and jewelry. Since the beginning of March, the demand for safe deposit boxes has already increased by 10%. The correspondent of RBC Tyumen was told about this in the bank Priobye.

“In a period of high market volatility, it is natural for customers to increase their interest in alternative ways of storing their savings and valuables, such as safe deposit boxes. In early March, the number of leased safe deposit boxes increased by 10% compared to last year,” said Evgeniy Yurchenko, Vice President for Economic Affairs at Slavtek Corporation.

Economist Lilia Varygina also connects the increased demand for bank cells with the restriction on the issuance of foreign currency deposits and the reduction of VAT on gold.

“Probably, clients who are worried about the current economic and political situation in the country and who managed to withdraw money before the introduction of restrictions decided to return the funds to the bank, but not to a deposit account, but to a safe deposit box. As for gold: earlier, when buying it, the bank was paid VAT in the amount of 20%, now you can buy it without tax and store gold in a cell,” Varygina said.

In addition, the demand for deposits has also increased in the region. This was told to our building in Gazprombank. The press service of the financial institution emphasized that the entire product line is now popular:

“Ugra residents use deposits both with the possibility of replenishment and partial withdrawal, and without. At the same time, it is possible to receive various premiums to the deposit rate, ”Gazprombank said.
